Terengganu FC vs Sabah FA Prediction: Rhinos Dismissed Too Soon? Expect A Thriller In The Making!

Terengganu FC will welcome Sabah FA to the Sultan Mizan Zainal Abidin Stadium in the 23rd round of the Malaysia Super League. Sabah are currently third in the league standings with 35 points. The visitors are winless in three encounters against Terengganu. Can they snap this winless run with a convincing win away from home?

Let's head into the match preview to find the best odds on the Terengganu FC vs. Sabah FA game and my expert picks to place your bets.

Terengganu FC

Form: WDLWL

Terengganu FC come into this match off the back of a commanding 5-1 away win over Sri Pahang. This saw them strengthen their position in fourth place in the league standings while cutting down the point gap to third to just four points.

Before this, the Turtles were on a two-match winless run in the league recording one loss and one draw. However, their form in the last eight matches has been promising (W4, D2, L2).

Not the same can be said about their performance at home. Heading into this clash, they are winless in three league games recording two losses and a solitary draw. In their last 10 home matches this season, they've accumulated 15 points.

Sabah FA

Form: DDDWL

Sabah FA, on the other hand, are finding wins hard to come by. The visitors are winless in their last three matches across all competitions recording three draws and a solitary loss. Their struggles started with 2-1 away defeat against Sri Pahang FC in the Malaysia Cup semifinal.

Last time out, the Rhinos played a goalless draw against Selangor FC on the road. The last time a match ended in a goalless draw on the road was against Terengganu in August 2021.

Martin Stano's men have been in good shape when playing away in the league. They have won four of their last six matches (D1, L1) and come into this match unbeaten in two games.

Expert Betting Tips

This match has the potential of being a closely contested affair. This is why I won't be leaning heavily on the full-time markets in this one. However, I do expect both sides to get on the scoreboard combined with over 2.5 goals in this one as they've been a threat this season in the final third.

The over 2.5 goals option can also be considered in this clash. If we take a look at their past encounters we can notice that this has been trend in four of their last five matches. Let's not forget that the hosts recently scored five goals on the road against Penang FC. 

For the third prediction, I'm backing Terengganu FC to score first in this one. They have scored the opening goal in four of their last five home league games and can do the same here.
