Sabah vs Negeri Sembilan: match statistics
Statistical analysis indicates a very balanced rivalry between two teams in poor form. Sabah has a fatal home record with just 13% wins and concedes an average of 2 goals per match, although their last five meetings show slight improvement (1-2-2). Negeri Sembilan presents even worse results on the road with 63% losses and only 13% wins, conceding an average of 1.88 goals. Both teams have similar xG values (1.29 vs 1.14) and possession (49% vs 50%), suggesting a comparable level of play. Given the weak disposition of both teams, high rates of conceded goals, and balanced statistics, the most likely scenario appears to be a draw, though the home pitch gives the hosts a slight edge.
