Preview: Kuala Lumpur City v USM
Kuala Lumpur City take on USM hoping to bounce back from a 5-5 draw with ATM that slipped through their fingers, against a USM side still chasing their first points.
Kuala Lumpur City open Circuit 4 against USM looking to put behind them the disappointment of dropping two points in their last match against ATM.
Kuala Lumpur City were seemingly cruising at half time with a 4-1 lead, but indiscipline in the second half cost them. They conceded a string of fouls, gave away second penalties, and Bukhari punished them twice from the spot to drag ATM level at 5-5. He even had the chance to win it with the last kick of the match, another second penalty, but keeper Arif Alias blocked his effort brilliantly.
KL have won just one match so far and will hope to pile more misery on USM, who along with Wipers have lost every game this season.
USM have shown in flashes that they have goals in them. They pushed Terengganu all the way in a 5-4 defeat and put three past ATM, but two heavy losses in the last circuit, to Selangor and Pahang, leave them needing to dig deep across the weekend to register their first points of the season.
The KL City game will be a useful warm up ahead of Sunday's clash with fellow strugglers Wipers.
Kick-off is at 1.30pm on Saturday.
