The win over Melaka on Monday was a much needed boost for their confidence which had gone down in the previous matches.The team have no momentum in the league. To get a result today, the players will need to grind it out and fight for everything, and they need to start converting their chances.Striker Rahman Shah Marajeh who scored a brace in the win over Melaka will have to be more consistent. His form seemed to be unpredictable and if he is on song again, then Sabah will have a chance to steal at least a valuable point from the home team.

Skipper Randu Baruh who played as substitute for the senior team against Negri Sembilan on Tuesday joined up with the team but his inclusion in the starting 11 is still unclear against the team that have a scoring record of 18 goals compared to Sabah's eight.If he starts, then Justin will likely play him in centreback following the suspension of Shahzrin Sidin to partner Matlan Marjan's son Masmilan with Rickson Pang Tabias as left back and Zaki Sapri on the right.
