Pasir Gudang Stadium will be visited once more and for the last time this season as the Jaguars travel up north to face Harimau Muda B in the second last game of the season. The Jaguars will go into this match on the back of a two-victory run and will look to repeat the win at Pasir Gudang during the season opener.

That time, the Jaguars won 2-1 in a hard fought battle but with a depleted squad, which happens to be the story of the Jaguars all year round. Still, the Jaguars have remained unbeaten in our last three games and head coach Patrick Vallée will want to end the season strongly.

A victory over Harimau Muda will take the Jaguars just two points off the Geylang Eagles and the lads will surely want to make that fact a reality. Players like Ruzaini Zainal and Hanafi Salleh will be back from suspension and that will give coach Patrick more options in defence and perhaps free up captain Ahmad Latiff upfront, where he can still be a threat.

Kamel Ramdani, Sebastien Etiemble and Firdaus Idros remain one of the most attractive attacking trio on their day and they will also be supporting the lethal Monsef Zerka, who scored in the last two games.

It also remains to be seen if impressive youngsters, Afiq Tan and Marcus Wheeler, will start the game even though their move up into the first team is warmly welcomed by all at Queenstown Stadium after their tremendous showings in the last two games.

Facing that terrible potential onslaught will be the young Tigers who have blown hot and cold all season and are sitting snugly at the bottom of the table. They lost their last game at home to Geylang International and are most definitely not impossible to beat at Pasir Gudang.

Both teams will want to settle their differences this season as the Harimau Muda lads were able to win our encounter also by a 2-1 scoreline at Jalan Besar Stadium. They managed to beat Hougang United away at Hougang Stadium and the Jaguars cannot risk to take them lightly if a result is to be had tonight.

See you there!
