T-Team stay at the top of the Super League was cut short when defending champions Kelantan 1-1 draw with PKNS FC last night was enough to see The Stags overtake the club side from Kuala Terengganu with just a single point.
However they could reclaim the spot with an identical result or better when they take on Kuala Lumpur at the Hang Jebat Stadium in Melaka this afternoon. T-Team forward, Mohamad Faiz Subri will be looking forward to add to his tally against a Kuala Lumpur side which lost their opening fixture against Sarawak in Kuching.
Sarawak meanwhile will travel to Kota Kinabalu for the Borneo 'derby'. Buoyed by their win over Kuala Lumpur, Robert Alberts boys will be keen to add the Hawks to their list of victims even though his counterpart Justin Ganai is hoping for his boys to bounce back after losing to Felda United on Tuesday.
Goalkeeper Syed Adney if selected will be keen to erase the memory of his mistake that led to Felda's second goal when his misjudgment left him in no-man's land, presenting Yong Kuong Yong with a simple task of heading the ball into the empty net.
The former Kuala Lumpur player will be trying his best to help his new team in getting a good result tonight in Kuala Terengganu as The Settlers take on a Terengganu team aiming to get their season on the right track after losing in Ipoh to Perak in their first match.
With the positive news that their foreign players could be registered after FAM extended the registration deadline to 13 February, The Turtles' fans are looking forward to this match to ensure they would be challenging for the Super League title again this season.
Perak whose victory over Terengganu ensured them a winning start to the new season travel to Selangor who staged a comeback at the Tuanku Abdul Rahman Stadium in Paroi against Negeri Sembilan. The match which ended in a 2-2 scoreline could change in the future as there are doubts in regards of the eligibility of one of their foreign player, Lebanese Ramez Dayoub.
Negeri Sembilan meanwhile made a short trip to Pasir Gudang to play Johor FC. The Bees won their away match against PKNS FC and would be confident of a good display against the Malaysia Cup champions whose striker, Jean Effa Owona is in a good scoring form with four goals already in two matches.
Up north, two losing sides meet at the Darul Aman Stadium as Kedah entertain Lions XII. The Canaries who suffered a 3-0 reverse in Kuala Terengganu against T-Team, will be hoping to put on a good performance in front of their passionate home crowd.
Former Kedah striker, V Sundramoorthy who is now in charge of The Lions, will also be hoping his charges are able to get over their 2-1 home defeat against Kelantan and concentrate in getting a good result and make their mark in their first season back in Malaysian football scene.
