The Panthers two match-winning streak in the Malaysia FA Cup came to an abrupt end as they played hosts to table-toppers Johor Darul Ta'zim FC, as home advantage had little effect on them avoiding a disappointing 5:0 defeat in the quarter-final of the Malaysia FA Cup.

Prior to that, they were up against Terengganu FC on the road, and they found themselves losing 1:0 to drop all three points, which wasn't the result they were searching for at the end of the day.

When playing at home, they have only suffered one loss in their last six matches against Selangor FC, losing 2:1 while recording four wins and a draw to accumulate 13 points, a run that has typified nothing but consistency. It's also worth noting that they are currently on a four-match winning streak.

They presently occupy 9th place with 14 points and are three points adrift of 7th place, while they have only maintained a one-point lead over PDRM FC in 10th place.

The Southern Tigers confirmed their spot in the semi-finals of the Malaysia FA Cup as they showed no mercy to Penang FC at home in the quarter-final as they trounced the Panthers 5:0 despite some slight rotations in their line-up, and it goes without saying they are out to retain their title.

Prior to that, they put the brakes on their out-of-this-world attacking prowess in their match against Sri Pahang FC at home, as they not only claimed a 2:0 triumph but also gifted them their first loss of the season after going eleven games without defeat, which was a bitter pill to swallow for football icon and now manager Fandi Ahmad.

Whether it's playing at home or away, their dominance has left its mark on whatever journey they embark on. They are currently on a six-match winning streak where they have also kept clean sheets in all those matches while scoring a whopping 24 goals, and their success in this match is all but a forgone conclusion.

They presently occupy 1st place with 36 points and have maintained an eight-point lead over Selangor FC in second place, and securing all three points here could see them consolidate their position even further.
