Preview - Terengganu v Selangor
Terengganu will set out to try and do what no side has done so far in the MPFL: take points off Selangor who still have a 100% record.
Terengganu take on league leaders Selangor in Circuit 7, seven weeks on from a 7-0 defeat the last time the two sides met. Edgar Baldasso's side have a 100% record so far, and arrive off the back of a 5-2 win over Pahang Rangers that kept their unbeaten record fully intact.
Selangor's attack remains the story of the league. Marlon has been in irresistible form throughout the campaign and now sits on 23 goals for the season, top of the scoring charts ahead of Pahang Rangers' Felipe De Souza. Evandro Borges and Syahir Iqbal have chipped in with 11 and 13 goals respectively, giving Selangor a front three capable of hurting any side in the competition, while young pair Faaris Amsyar Marhaidi and Aidil Zakwan Zaidi have continued to earn minutes off the bench, both getting on the scoresheet earlier this season, including in the first meeting between these two sides.
Terengganu, under Mohd Shafily bin Jusoh, will be out to arrest a difficult run of results. Their last outing ended in a 6-4 defeat to Pahang Rangers in an entertaining match at Circuit 6, though it followed back-to-back wins over ATM and Wipers before that. Alif Mat Amin remains the side's talisman, with 12 goals and three player-of-the-match awards already this season, and he was among the scorers again in the loss to Pahang Rangers.
The head-to-head record and the gulf in current form both point firmly in Selangor's favour, and stopping Marlon and company from adding to their tally will be the first job for a Terengganu defence that has already shipped seven in this fixture once this season.
Selangor will be targeting a tenth win from ten to maintain their perfect record, while Terengganu will simply hope to give a better account of themselves than in the reverse fixture.
The match kicks off at 13.30 on Saturday, and you can watch live on the MPFLTV channel on YouTube.
