Let's have a look at the latest Malaysia Super League predictions between Kuala Lumpur vs. Johor Darul Ta'zim, match facts and betting odds for you to consider!

Note: Odds are subject to change at any time!

Kuala Lumpur finished 7th in the previous season with 38 points. They tallied 10 wins, 8 draws, and 8 losses and scored 44 goals while conceding 39 goals in the process. In the current season, they have accumulated one point from one match played thus far to occupy the tenth spot in the standings, one point ahead of the drop zone.

Approaching this match, Lumpur were held to a 1-1 draw against Kuching City FC, a result worthy of praise considering they were reduced to ten- men on the field following new signing Adrijan Rudović's sending off in the 39th minute.

The Malaysian giants have commenced the current season splendidly. They have yet to suffer defeat in their last two matches, which has worked out in their favor as they hold the top spot with six points in the standings while maintaining a two-point cushion over the three teams below.

Approaching this match, the defending champions made Negeri Sembilan look like a light weight, thrashing them 3-1 at Sultan Ibrahim Stadium. This comes after being awarded three points in their opening match against Selangor FC, which also witnessed them lift the Charity Shield trophy.

• Kuala Lumpur's last win against Johor Darul Ta'zim was in 2021.
• Johor Darul Ta'zim has won seven matches in a row across all competitions.
• Kuala Lumpur averages 1.1 goals per game when playing at home, and Johor Darul Ta'zim averages 3.5 goals per game when playing away.

Over the past 13 meetings, Kuala Lumpur have won once, Johor Darul Ta'zim have won 11 times, and there has been 1 draw, with the goal difference being 35-5 in favor of Johor Darul Ta'zim. 

Despite achieving a decade of dominance in the previous season to lift their tenth straight league title, it seems Johor Darul Ta'zim is far from content with such an achievement as they aim to continue with their unending dominance. With two consecutive wins, it's safe to say they are headed down the right track.
