Sabah FC welcome Pulau Pinang on Friday, Aug 28 at 1:30 PM in a Super League fixture that's tighter on paper than the positions suggest — just 1 point split them in the table.

Sabah FC come into this fixture in mixed form (2W 1D 2L). Pulau Pinang travel drawing too many games (3D in last 5), which may hand the initiative to the hosts. Sabah FC head into this on the back of a defeat, while Pulau Pinang arrive off a win — momentum clearly with the visitors.

History strongly favours Sabah FC here — they've won 6 of 10 previous meetings against Pulau Pinang, with 3 draws. Their last encounter ended in a 0–0 draw.

Verdict: This looks an evenly matched contest. Home advantage gives Sabah FC a slight edge, but Pulau Pinang are capable of causing problems. A draw would be a fair result.
