Sabah FA vs Kelantan United FC Prediction: Expecting The Rhinos To Cruise To Their Second Consecutive Victory?

Sabah FA will host Kelantan United FC in their second round of the Malaysia Super League for their second home game of the season, hoping to extend their winning streak to two games.

In contrast, Kelantan United FC will be attempting to avoid suffering their second consecutive road defeat as they attempt to pull off a stunning upset against the overwhelming favorites, Sabah FA.

Let's have a look at the latest Malaysia Super League predictions between Sabah FA vs Kelantan United FC, match facts and up to date betting odds for you to consider!

Sabah FA

After a scoreless draw against PDRM FC in 2020, the Rhinos renewed hostilities against them in their most recent match, ultimately winning 4:0 to secure all three points.

Though they were not particularly convincing in terms of possession, only managing 46%, this did not prevent them from delivering a nail-biting performance, with Saddil Ramdani getting a piece of the action as he bagged a brace in that game, not to mention Tae-Su Park and Stuart Wilkin, who each contributed a goal to the success.

They now hold the top spot with 3 points thanks to their attacking prowess in their first game, and with a free pass to increase their lead with three more points, it's undoubtedly a chance they shouldn't pass up if they don't want teams like reigning champions Johor Darul Ta'zim breathing down their necks.

Kelantan United FC

The Green Deers recently played Selangor FC, and they came into the MBPJ Stadium hoping to get their first victory of 2023 in a fiercely competitive league. Unfortunately, the wheel of fortune had other plans for them, and they lost 1:0.

The fact that they were saved from further embarrassment by an outstanding defense, however, didn't deter them in the least. Instead, they carried themselves with pride. They had the ball for 45% of the game while attempting five attempts at goal.

After finishing fifth in the Liga Premier with 25 points last season, the Green Deers will be aiming for a better finish in the Super League, which will undoubtedly take some time and work and will most likely require being patient. With no points earned thus far, they are currently ranked 11 in the standings.

Expert Betting Tips

Kelantan United FC's ability to put forth a defensive performance in their recent match against Selangor FC that, if not put into practice, would have seen them lose by a significant margin will be put to the test once more while also attempting to avoid another loss on the road, which could be too much for them to handle.

Sabah FA, on the other hand, can't afford to lose now that they've experienced the heights of perfection. Even though they've already predicted a straightforward victory, they won't take their opponent for granted and will instead start and end this match by being extremely cautious.

Picking Sabah FA in the full-time market looks valuable as bookmakers have them as favourites, but combining it with the total over 1.5 goals should be, as we anticipate the same explosive attacking approach they showed in their most recent match.
