Let's have a look at the latest Malaysia Super League predictions between Penang FC vs Kuching City FC match facts and up to date betting odds for you to consider!

Penang FC

Form: WWLWL

The Black Panthers welcomed Kelantan United FC to the City Stadium Penang and were determined not to let their devoted fans down. They put on a performance that was far from below par, completely dominating Tomáš Trucha's team and winning 2:0.

Prior to that, they traveled to Sarawak Stadium to face Kuching FC in the Malaysia FA Cup round of 16. They easily defeated their opponent 4:0 thanks to goals from Hassan Ali Saad, Rafael Vitor, Hadin Azman, and Giovane Gomes.

After a 1:0 road loss to 10-men Kedah Darul Aman FC in their first match of April, they went on to record a three-match winning streak across all competitions. During that time, they scored ten goals while allowing only two in a 4:2 home victory over PDRM FC. It goes without saying that those results have given them much confidence to extend their winning streak by an additional four games.

This season promises to be fruitful for the Black Panthers, who finished their previous season in 12th place with 11 points and had a big break avoiding the chop after that, as they currently occupy 8th place with 11 points and are three points away from a 6th place finish, bagging all three points will be the only result they'll be hoping for in this encounter.

Kuching City FC

Form: LLDLL

The Cats, on the other hand, managed to put in a convincing performance against Sri Pahang FC at the Sarawak State Stadium, but it was all for naught because they were not clinical in front of goal, resulting in a narrow 1:0 setback.

Prior to that, their run in the Malaysia FA Cup was cut short when they were defeated 4:0 by Penang FC in the round of 16; that's one piece of silverware ruled out for Irfan Bakti Abu Salim's men this season, and with the league title out of reach, they are faced with the harsh reality that there will be no trophy to add to their cabinet anytime soon.

Their form has been dreadful, as they are currently on a three-match losing streak in all competitions, and in the Super League, they have not won any of their last eight matches, with seven losses and one tie, leaving them inundated with inconsistency.

They are now in 12th place with 4 points, level on points with Kelantan in 13th, and three points away from finishing in 11th place, which is currently held by Perak FC.

Expert Betting Tips

While the season is still in its early stages, Kuching City FC has one win, one draw, and seven losses in their last nine games, raising concerns that they will face an uphill battle to stay in the Super League, which is far from what they had hoped to achieve this season.

Penang FC enters this encounter with one goal in mind: to complete a double against their opponent following their victory in the Malaysia FA Cup. They are the bookies' favorites to take all three points at home, and there is no doubt about it.

In this matchup, Penang FC currently has the edge over Kuching City FC, so backing them to win the first half should be enough to come out on top. Additionally, the fact that Penang FC's opponent has conceded 8 goals in their last four away games should also encourage goals, so backing the over 2.5 goals should also be enough in this situation.
