Starting with the hosts, Kedah were last seen putting on a sluggish display in the round of 16 Malaysia Cup as they slumped to a disappointing 3:1 loss at the hands of Perak FC and will now have to overturn a two-goal deficit in their second leg return, which will be a mountainous task.

Before that, they made the trip to Sarawak State Stadium to lock horns with Kuching in the 18th round of the Malaysian Super League, and Ifedayo Olusegun's lone goal in the 39th minute was enough to see them run out 1:0 winners.

With that win, they extended their winning run in the league to three matches since their 1:0 defeat to Terengganu on July 3rd, and it's also worth mentioning that has been the solitary loss from their six league matches where they have picked up five wins to accumulate 15 points, depicting a side that has been in impressive form.

They presently occupy third place with 37 points, level on points with fourth-placed Pahang, whom they'll get to clash with in this clash, and are only three points adrift of second place, while their bid for a first-place finish is hampered by a considerable 17-point deficit.

As for the visitors, Pahang didn't expect Harini FC to put up a fight, as they were nearly held to a 2:2 draw in the first leg of the Malaysia Cup round of 16, but Baqiuddin Shamsudin's goal in the dying embers ensured they walked away 3:2 winners.

Before that, they played hosts to Perak at the Darul Makmur Stadium in the 18th round of the Malaysian Super League, and Kpah Sherman's lone goal in the 55th minute was enough to see them rebound with a 1:0 triumph, as this was after their convincing 4:0 defeat at the hands of Sabah FA.

Tok Gajah have also been in impressive form when it comes to their commendable performance in the league, which has seen them suffer just one defeat from their five matches while picking up four wins to accumulate 12 points, and it's without a shadow of doubt that they too will be relishing the opportunity to build up on their momentum.

They presently occupy fourth place with 37 points, level on points with third-placed Kedah, and are three points adrift of second place, while they have only maintained a one-point advantage over Sabah in fifth place.
