Sabah FA enters this second leg in excellent overall form, boasting a highly efficient scoring record of 2.3 goals per match across their last 20 games. They are extremely dangerous in transition, which will be a critical factor here as The New Saints are forced to push forward to overturn the two-goal deficit. This tactical setup plays directly into Sabah FA's hands, allowing their clinical forward line to exploit space behind the Welsh defense.

Given the necessity for the hosts to attack, the game is likely to open up in the second half. Sabah FA's physical superiority and depth should see them control the match once again. The New Saints lack the offensive firepower to break down a Sabah FA defense that kept a clean sheet in the first leg, making an away victory or a low-scoring home performance highly probable.
