On Wednesday afternoon, Darul Takzim will look to continue their highly impressive form in the Malaysian Super League when they host Selangor.
Darul Takzim have enjoyed a fantastic campaign, winning 12 of their last 16 matches in the Malaysian top-flight, while remaining unbeaten. The home side are running away with the league, as they are currently 13 points clear of second-place Pahang in the table. With just six league games remaining, it seems unlikely that their rivals will catch up this season.
The visitors are third in the table but are a massive 15 points behind the league leaders. However, they will keep going in the hope that the unbeaten home side may slip-up in the last six games.
Despite Darul Taksim’s dominance in the Malaysian top-flight, their latest league games have been low-scoring, with under 2.5 goals scored in five of their last six outings.
The home sides attacking threat has been crucial to their success so far this season. Brazilian forward Diogo is currently the team’s top scorer, having scored nine times in his 16 appearances for the home side.
Although Selangor have been difficult to beat in the Malaysian top-flight, their recent form has been inconsistent of late. Two wins from the visitors last six league outings have prevented the visitors from mounting a realistic title challenge.
The visitors have also struggled for wins on their travels in the Malaysian Super League, failing to win in their last three games.
That poor recent away record looks unlikely to improve in this game, as the home side have won their last 27 league matches on home soil. They have also conceded just four goals in their last 18 home league matches.
Forebet predicts that the home side will continue their incredible home and defensive records, and win in a low-scoring encounter.
