Sabah FA will be out to exact revenge against Sri Pahang FC - their opponents in this impending encounter. On Sunday, the home team lost 2-1 against Pahang in the second leg of the Malaysia Cup semi-final. They lost 3-2 on aggregate bringing their journey to an end.
The Rhinos now return to league action where they've undeniably met expectations. In their recent league outing, they beat Negeri Sembilan 2-1 on the road to bounce back from a 4-0 thrashing at the hands of table-toppers Johor Darul Ta'zim.
That win marked their sixth in seven league outings and their defensive woes has seen them keep one clean sheet. At home, they are currently on a two-match winning streak and have avoided defeat in three games (D1) since a 2-1 defeat against Selangor FC on August 13, 2024.

Sri Pahang FC, on the other hand, will aim to return to winning ways in the league after succumbing to a 2-0 away defeat against Selangor FC on Saturday. This comes after winning 2-1 at home against Sabah FA in the second leg of the Malaysia Cup semi-final - with Johor Darul Ta'zim awaiting them in the final showdown.
The Elephants have been in erratic form in the league and come into this clash winless in their last five matches recording three losses and two draws. Despite this, they have found the back of the net on four occasions and could get on the scoreboard in this one.
Away from home, they are winless in three games and it's also worth mentioning that they are currently on a two-match losing streak.

Expert Betting Tips
Sri Pahang FC has a decent record against Sabah FA and will be aiming to use this to their advantage to secure a win here. However, I think their poor away record could derail them from achieving such a feat.
Sabah FA has performed much better this season, they have a superior squad at their disposal and I'm certain that will play to their advantage in this clash - not to talk about their advantage at home.
