Melaka United vs Terengganu FC Prediction: The Visitors Desperately In Need Of Points To Secure A Second Place Finish

Terengganu FC travel to Hang Jebat Stadium for their 20th Super League matchday in the hopes of maintaining their unbeaten record, which has seen them on a five-match winning streak, and securing a second-place position with only a point needed.

It's been an unfortunate experience for the hosts in recent matches, as they've collided with a string of poor results, the most recent being their 5-0 loss to Selangor FC, which ended their chances of getting back to winning ways.

They have only managed a point in their last five matches and have been bombarded with four losses in the process, highlighting their inability to grasp on to wins, which has led to their demise in the Super League, leaving them with nothing but inconsistent form.

With nowhere to go and only two wins in their last ten home Super League matches in which 11 points were collected, it's been a trying time for them, and with the pressure obviously piling on them, they'll be looking to put out a more convincing home performance to put an end to their poor form and hopefully get back to winning ways.

They currently sit in 10th place in the rankings with 18 points, only three points away from a 9th place finish, and will undoubtedly take their chances to emerge from their dwindling fortunes with a victory over a team that once served them a disappointing loss on a silver platter a month back.

Forging ahead without looking back, the visitors recently defeated Sabah FA 2-0 to collect crucial points that will help them fight their way to a second-place finish, which currently looks promising with only three matches remaining.

After finishing fourth in their previous season, just five points behind second place, they have slightly altered the events of the current season to their favor this time around, as they sit third with 35 points, level on points with Negeri Sembilan, who sit fourth and are only a point away from dethroning Sabah FA from second place.

Their form has been nothing short of impressive, and they have been a force to be reckoned with, as they are on a 6-match winning streak in the Super League, with 18 points collected thus far, with their most recent defeat coming two months ago at home against Johor Darul Ta'zim by a 2-1 scoreline.

They have certainly risen to the occasion to be the talk of the show in the Super League, and while their aspiration for the title race this season is far out of reach and they may as well call it quits, there is still a second place finish calling out for them.
