Selangor just lost at home 2-3 to their cup opponents in the last match, after previously sweeping four straight wins in the league and cup. This match is therefore one where they must get back to taking three points in the league. Meanwhile, Pulau Pinang also just lost 1-4 in the cup, after their league results had looked better before that. Selangor are still the side with the clearer attack, as seen from their average of 6.3 shots on target per game over the last 10 matches, compared with 4.6 for Pulau Pinang, and they clearly dominate possession. Pulau Pinang, for their part, play on the counter and have spells where their defence loses its shape easily, especially in the first half, where they concede more goals than they score. If Selangor control the game and take the lead first, Pulau Pinang will be forced to open up, which is when the visitors' defence often loses its positioning. The game is likely to flow towards the hosts, who can control the tempo for almost the whole match, but the fact that Pulau Pinang sit deep and wait for a single moment also makes goals in this game unlikely to flow easily.
