Team Form

Negeri Sembilan Matrix enters this match in poor form. Their last five results show two draws and three losses: a 2-2 draw with Imigresen FC, a 2-0 loss to WTS Kelantan Wan Tendong Stable, a 2-0 loss to Kelantan City FC, a 2-1 loss to Melaka, and a 0-0 draw with Kuala Lumpur City FC.

Kelantan City FC comes into the game with momentum. Their last two matches are both wins: a 2-1 victory away at Manjung City Puchong Fuerza and a 2-0 home win against Negeri Sembilan Matrix. They have scored four goals and conceded just one in this short run, showing solidity at both ends.

Head-to-Head Record

The head-to-head record is limited to one match, played on Sep 02, 2026. Kelantan City FC hosted Negeri Sembilan Matrix and won 2-0. This gives Kelantan City FC a 1-0 lead in wins, with no draws recorded. The recent nature of this result gives Kelantan City FC a psychological edge heading into this fixture.

League Table Positions

No current league table data is available for the Cup competition. However, recent match data shows Negeri Sembilan Matrix competing in the Super League and Kelantan City FC in the A1 Semi-Pro League. The difference in tier suggests Negeri Sembilan Matrix typically faces stronger opposition, but their current form does not reflect that advantage.

Win Probability: Negeri Sembilan Matrix or Kelantan City FC?

Negeri Sembilan Matrix has a 25% chance of winning, the draw is at 20%, and Kelantan City FC has a 55% chance. These probabilities are calculated using the inverse of the best available odds (home 1.62, draw 2.60, away 6.25), normalized to remove the bookmaker margin. Adjustments were then made based on team form: Negeri Sembilan Matrix's five-match winless run reduces their chances, while Kelantan City FC's two consecutive wins, including a 2-0 victory over Negeri Sembilan Matrix just days ago, significantly boost their probability. The away win probability is further supported by the head-to-head record. Home advantage for Negeri Sembilan Matrix is factored in but is outweighed by their poor form. Kelantan City FC is more likely to win this match.

Odds & Match Prediction

Bookmakers see Negeri Sembilan Matrix as the favorite despite recent results, with best home odds at 1.62. The draw is priced around 2.60, and an away win for Kelantan City FC is offered at high odds of 6.25. These odds likely reflect the league tier difference rather than current form. Based on the stats, form, and head-to-head record, Kelantan City FC appears undervalued. The prediction is a win for Kelantan City FC, though a draw cannot be ruled out given Negeri Sembilan Matrix's two recent stalemates.
