THE LOWDOWN

Domestic football in Malaysia begins with the same two teams that closed the 2017 campaign in the Malaysia Cup final. Johor Darul Ta’zim (JDT), the Malaysia Super League (MSL) winners won on that night in a one-sided contest.

The Southern Tigers will be eager to get their 2018 off to a good start and not only pick up the three points, but to regain the Sultan Ahmad Cup trophy they lost to Kedah on penalties at the very same ground just over 12 months ago.

Kedah have a point to prove after barely putting up a fight when the last time the both sides met. They have a new coach in Ramon Marcote and have made several additions to the squad, most notably forward Pablo Pallares and defender Alvaro Silva but it remains to be seen how they will perform.

JDT on the other hand have welcomed back 2016 MSL Golden Boot winner Jorge Pereyra Diaz, Hariss Harun and 36-year-old Luciano Figueroa in addition to new signings La’Vere Corbin-Ong and Adam Nor Azlin and Syafiq Ahmad.

One important aspect of both teams are that they have kept a bulk of their players for several years and there will be a sense of familiarity on the pitch.
