What we said beforehand
Sabah host Ter Terengganu at home in the Malaysia Liga Super on 31 October 2026. Sabah sit fifth in a twelve-team table with seven points from five games and a slim +1 goal difference. They are just five points behind Brunei DPMM in fourth place and one point ahead of Melaka FC in sixth. Terengganu are down in eighth, also on five points but with a –3 goal difference, a point behind Kuala Lumpur City and level with Star City. Both clubs are looking to move up the table, but Sabah have a slightly better chance of climbing, while Terengganu will be hoping to stop their slide.
Sabah’s recent form has been mixed. In their last eight matches they have won four, drawn one and lost three. The most recent results are a 1-1 draw away at Negeri Sembilan, a 2-1 home loss to Brunei DPMM, a 2-0 home defeat by Kuching City, a 2-0 home win over Penang, a 3-1 victory against Star City at home and a narrow 1-0 home loss to Terengganu. In those eight games Sabah have scored 13 goals and let in eight, keeping two clean sheets while failing to find the net twice. Three of the matches produced three or more goals and both sides scored in four of them. Their last three fixtures have all ended without a win.
Terengganu have struggled to find consistency. Over their last eight games they have won two, drawn two and lost four. Their recent run includes a 3-0 home defeat by Johor Darul Ta’zim, a 1-1 away draw with Star City, a goalless home draw with Penang, a 3-0 loss at home to Selangor, a 3-0 home win over Melaka FC and a 1-0 away victory against Sabah. The side have scored seven and conceded twelve in this period, keeping three clean sheets but also being shut out three times. Five of those games featured three or more goals and both teams scored in three of them. Their last three road outings produced one win, one draw and one loss.
When the two clubs meet, the games are usually open and produce goals. In the last five meetings Sabah have won twice, Terengganu once and two matches ended in draws. Those encounters have averaged three goals per game. The most recent clash was a 1-0 win for Terengganu at Sabah on 15 May 2026. Given the similar scoring chances for both sides – 75 % to score at least once and 39 % to hit twice – we can expect another contest with both teams looking to get on the scoresheet.
Our pick is Sabah or a draw at odds of 1.41. The price is shorter than we feel the game deserves, giving us a safety net if Sabah do not win outright. We think a draw is a realistic outcome because both sides have struggled to win lately and have similar chances of scoring. For our pick to fail, Sabah would have to lose, which would require Terengganu to improve sharply while Sabah’s modest home form dips further. With a 64 % chance of this result, the price looks good for a cautious back.
