Kelantan VS Selangor PKNS
Defying the odds by beating Singapore, Kelantan will surely take this opportunity to win in their home soil. PKNS who were defeated by Johor FC last Tuesday, will not have any foreign players in their side and will rely heavily on local talent. Kelantan look strong for this tie and expect, Norhsharul and Ghaddar to terrorise the PKNS defense led by skipper, Fadhil and new signing, Azlan Zainal.
Prediction: Kelantan 3 – 0 Selangor PKNS
Selangor VS Perak
Selangor didn’t get off to a good start as they had to come back to snatch a draw against Negeri Sembilan. Irfan Bakti, has started his ‘hair dryer’ treatment by urging his players to step up to the plate. Perak will surely be relying on the Kubala-Popovic combination as both of them proved to be the difference against Terengganu. However, Selangor will be eager to bounce back and expect skipper, Amri to shine in this tie
Prediction: Selangor 2 – 1 Perak
Kedah VS Lions XII
The Singapore side is back in Malaysian soil after 18 years. V.Sundramoorthy, who used to be a legend for Kedah in the 90s, will want his side to bounce back from their defeat against Kelantan. Kedah, who were surprisingly beaten by T Team last Tuesday, will be relying on home support to boost up their confidence. Kedah will be without inspirational playmaker, Baddrol Bakhtiar as the Lions will surely exploit the absence of Badd.
Prediction: Kedah 1 – Lions XII 1
Kuala Lumpur VS T Team Terengganu
T Team, will be travelling to Melaka with much needed confidence. Thrashing Kedah in their first game, Yunus Alif is looking for his 2nd win. The local lads will play key role in this game and expect Zachariah Simukonda to bang in the goals against the weak ‘City Boys’. Razip Ismail’s side looked clueless against Sarawak as he needs to regroup his team for this tie. However, Kuala Lumpur looks likely to be the next whipping boys of T Team.
Prediction: Kuala Lumpur 1 – 4 T Team Terengganu
Sabah VS Sarawak
After 2 seasons, the Borneo derby is back! Sarawak will be off to Kota Kinabalu to face the wounded Rhinos. Sabah who lost against Felda amidst in controversial circumstances, will be looking to cheer up their home fans. Sarawak in the mean time, are in a buoyant mood after defeating Kuala Lumpur in Kuching. However, Sabah looks stronger for this tie as their Australian player will bring cheers for the home fans
Prediction: Sabah 2 – 0 Sarawak
Terengganu VS Felda United
A David vs Goliath game! Terengganu, the reigning FA Cup champions will want to get the three points from this tie. Having lost against Perak, expect the likes of Kallang Tie and Ashaari to bamboozle the Felda defense. Nazri and Favano will have a tough time facing the attacking trident of Terengganu. Felda who started off their campaign on the right foot will look to snatch the points but it will be tough against the east coast side.
Prediction: Terengganu 2 – 0 Felda United
Johor FC VS Negeri Sembilan
Back to their fortress, the JCorp Stadium, K.Devan will look for his 2nd win this season. However, facing his former team, it is a tough prospect. Negeri Sembilan will be relying on their only foreign player, Effa Owona who has been sensational so far. He will be a constant menace for the Johor FC defense but K.Devan will surely have something up in his sleeves. This will be an exciting encounter as two of the nations best coaches will pit against each other for bragging supremacy.
Prediction: Johor FC 2 – 2 Negeri Sembilan
