Note: Odds are subject to change at any time!

Kelantan FC

Form: LDLLL

Starting with the hosts, Kelantan FC were completely annihilated by Johor Darul Ta'zim in the first leg of the Malaysia Cup round of 16, losing 5:1, which has only meant that their second leg will have to see them overturn a four-goal deficit on the road, a feat that'll turn out to be impossible to achieve.

Before that, they were behind another unsatisfactory result in the league as they made the trip to KLFA Stadium to lock horns with Kuala Lumpur, in which they lost 5:1 despite taking the lead through Leonardo Rolón's goal in the opening three minutes of the first half.

Kelantan has the second worst home record this season, with four points accumulated from their seven matches played, picking up five losses, one draw, and one defeat. It's also worth mentioning that we are currently on a four-match losing streak. 

They are dead last in the standings as they presently occupy 14th place with 5 points, three points adrift of 12th place, which makes claiming maximum points in this encounter crucial.

Negeri Sembilan FC

Form: DDLDL

As for the visitors, they had no trouble whatsoever cruising past Kelantan United in the first leg of the Malaysia Cup round of 16 as they eked out a 1:0 victory courtesy of Sean Selvaraj's 27th minute strike.

Before that, they made the trip to Sultan Mizan Zainal Abidin Stadium to lock horns with Terengganu, and despite being named underdogs, they defied the odds to salvage a point after playing out a 1:1 draw thanks to Hérold Goulon's late strike in the 89th minute.

Away from home, they have been in poor form as they have failed to win their last five matches, recording three draws and two losses, while they only have one win to their name in nine matches played. However, despite a poor showing from them, they can fancy their chances of recording their second away win as they go up against a side that has shown close to nothing with their performance this season as relegation looms large.

They presently occupy 9th place with 21 points, two points ahead of 10th-placed Penang, and are three points behind 8th place, which is currently occupied by PDRM FC.

Expert Betting Tips

Apart from having the second worst home record this season, Kelantan FC have not won their last twelve matches in all competitions, suffering eleven losses while playing out a 2:2 draw against Kuching City FC, and that's a glimpse of a side that is likely not to pose a threat in this clash despite having home advantage at their disposal.

Negeri Sembilan's away form has been cause for concern lately; however, that shouldn't deter them from walking away with all three points against a floundering Kelantan United FC side, who have found opting for consistency this season difficult, and their win here is not one to be doubted.

When both these sides clash, a high-scoring affair is always something on the menu, as the total has exceeded over 2.5 goals in eight of their last nine matches, while three or more goals have been seen in four of those matches, and we anticipate such a trend to continue here given the hosts struggles at the back, conceding an average of 3 goals per game at home. The visitors to win combined with the total of over 2.5 goals should surface.
