Johor DT vs Sri Pahang tips and predictions

Johor DT look very tough to oppose

There's 31 points between the two Super League clubs as first place Johor DT get set to host tenth place Sri Pahang.

Sri Pahang don't look likely to pose much of a threat here but the home win price will only be for those with deep pockets. It's hard to approve of the short price but they certainly deserve their favouritism.

The hosts start the match having looked slick in their recent campaigns - they've won their last 6 in a row.

It could be the home side's defence that is the key to victory for them. Impressively, they've been keeping things tight recently as they've not been handing out donations, letting in only 2 goals in their last 7 games. At the same time the away side has been a little deflated in this aspect of the game. Away from home Sri Pahang have conceded two or more goals in all of their last 6 campaigns. It doesn't look like they'll be reacquainting themselves with winning ways.

Johor DT have won 11 of the last 16 fixtures between these sides. Going back to their previous meetings the head-to-head stats provide reasons to believe in the home win. In their last fixture Sri Pahang were beaten 2-0 by Kuala Lumpur City.

The sportsbooks' prices suggest that one of these sides doesn't look likely to score in a match that's clearly on Johor DT's terms. There will be better value exposed in other matches but the Yes BTTS bet could be a fun side bet.
