They have hit an aggregate of 14 during that period and have conceded a total of 11.

Johor Darul Ta'zim

WWWWLW

Johor Darul Ta'zim come into this encounter after a 1-0 AFC Champions League Elite win over Vissel Kobe in their most recent fixture.

The only name on the scoresheet from Johor Darul Ta'zim was Guilherme (73').

In their last six outings, Johor Darul Ta'zim have bagged a total of 12 goals. Johor Darul Ta'zim have also scored in every single one of those games. Over that period, they’ve had 3 goals go against them. That kind of trend isn’t assured to be carried forward into this next game, however.

↔️ Head to head

Looking at their past head to head results stretching back to 15/10/2022 tells us that these encounters have been pretty painful for Sabah. They’ve not been able to register any victories at all whereas Johor Darul Ta'zim have maintained the edge over them, beating them in 100 per cent of those ties.

Those games weren’t short on goals, either, with 29 in all which averages out at 4.83 goals per meeting.

The previous league fixture featuring the two was Liga Super match day 5 on 21/09/2025 when it ended Johor Darul Ta'zim 8-0 Sabah.

🗞️ Team News: Johor Darul Ta'zim

Johor Darul Ta'zim boss Héctor Bidoglio has to choose from a squad that has some fitness concerns. Enzo Lombardo (unknown injury) and Arif Aiman (Hamstring injury) won’t be making appearances.

💭 Prediction

When taking all factors into account, Johor Darul Ta'zim are likely to have the majority of the possession and should turn some of their chances into goals.

In contrast, Sabah may well find it hard to score although we think that they will probably end up scoring.

Our selection here is for a comfortable 1-3 win for Johor Darul Ta'zim come full-time.
