Kelantan United vs Sabah: match statistics
Sabah appears to be the favorite for this encounter despite playing away. Kelantan United is enduring a disastrous run – 5 consecutive losses without scoring a single goal in the last 5 matches and just 1 point in their last 5 home games. The hosts hold the worst record in the league with a 50% loss rate at home and have failed to keep a single clean sheet. Sabah, on the other hand, shows much better form with 7 points in the last 5 matches, an 18% scoring efficiency on the road, and a streak of two consecutive away victories. Additionally, the visitors average 1.67 goals away, which, given Kelantan's weak defense (1.25 goals conceded at home), offers them a real chance at three points. Although both teams have a negative goal difference, current form and recent stats favor Sabah.
