Kota Kinabalu: Sabah Junior Rhinos are hoping to get their second straight win in the league against Kuala Lumpur at Stadium Maybank Bangi this afternoon (Wednesday).The team who grabbed only their second win in this campaign last week at the expense of Melaka will need to repeat the same feat in all their remaining matches to stand any chance of making to the next round.

They are currently in seventh position in Group B and 11 points behind Penang who are occupying the final place for the quarterfinal berth in fourth.

Their away form have been poor and yet to see a win this season and the encounter with Kuala Lumpur who are bottom on the table standing today is a very good opportunity for the players to grab all three points.

Senior player Maxsius Musa who was unlucky not to score in the previous match will again lead the team's attack with Rahman Shah Marajeh.

Another senior player Jenius Karib will play in the holding midfield position with skipper Umareng Bacok as the playmaker supported by possibly Fazrrey Karim and Ikmal Akid Bahari who will move up from his previous left back position after returning from injury.

Randy Baruh who impressed as left back in the absence of Ikmal in the last match is set to retain his place with Nazreen Sani and Rafis Etin in the centre and Azfizam Norli on the right while Endre S Tipay will again man the post.

The team will also be led by veteran coach and Sabah Football Technical Director Justin Ganai as head coach R. Gopal is away on assignment in Sandakan.

If Justin with his in depth knowledge of the players can keep them focused and have self-belief, there is strong possibility that they may register their first away win of the season.
