Kuching City FC vs Kelantan FC Prediction: A Comfortable Win For Il Gatto!

Kuching City FC welcomes Kelantan FC to the Sarawak State Stadium in the 14th round of the Malaysian Super League.

Will the home side finally put an end to their fifteen-match winless run in the league by claiming a comfortable win against a side they have maintained overt superiority over, or will they succumb to a disappointing loss?

Form: LLLDD

Starting with the hosts, Kuching failed to secure maximum points in their match against Perak FC at home as they succumbed to a narrow 2:1 defeat with Abu Kamara's equalizer in the first half reverting into a consolation goal.

Prior to that, they made the trip to Likas Stadium to lock horns with Sabah FA, where they, despite dropping three points in a 4:3 defeat, showed some fighting spirit to make life difficult for Ong Kim Swee's men.

Their recent defeat has only meant that they are now on a three-match losing streak in the league, while their winless run sits at fifteen matches, where twelve losses and three draws were picked up, and those results have depicted a side beyond poor form.

In the standings, they presently occupy thirteenth place with six points in the relegation zone and are only a point adrift of safety.

Form: LLLLL

As for the visitors, their chances of getting something positive out of their match against Johor Darul Ta'zim were all narrowed down to naught as they succumbed to a morale-crushing 5:0 defeat at the Sultan Mohammad IV Stadium.

Prior to that, they were a tad unlucky not to have secured at least a point against Penang FC at the City Stadium Penang, as they succumbed to a narrow 4:3 defeat with Muhammad Harith Mohd Shahar's brace and Natanael Siringoringo's lone goal serving as consolation.

Their recent defeat has only meant that they are now on an eleven-match losing streak while their winless run sits at thirteen matches, and it's without a shadow of doubt that they too, like their opponents in this clash, have been in similar form where inconsistency has become second nature to them.

In the standings, they presently occupy fourteenth place with four points in the relegation zone and are three points adrift of safety.

• Kuching City FC have not won any of their last eight home matches in the Super League
• Kelantan FC have lost fourteen of their last sixteen matches played in the Super League.
• Kuching City FC averages 0.5 goals per game when playing at home, and Kelantan FC averages 1 goal per game when playing away.

In the last six meetings, Kuching City FC have won four times, Kelantan FC have won two times, and there have been zero draws, with the goal difference being 9-6 in favor of Kuching City FC.

Kelantan have been in poor form when playing away in the Super League, as evidenced by their nine-match losing streak. Not only that, but they come into this fixture with a three-match losing run away from home, and nothing much can be really expected from them here other than a convincing loss.

While both sides come into this one in need of three points to escape the relegation zone for some reasons, the home side are far by a mile favorites to claim all three points given their overt superiority over the visitors, and their win here is one not to be doubted as they put an end to their fifteen-match unbeaten run in the league. As such, expect the home side to cruise to what may turn out to be a narrow victory.
