Despite Pahang's 3-2 defeat to JDT in the Super League last weekend, their performance this season has been nothing short of enviable. They are second in the league, and this Saturday they will host Melaka United in the FA Cup third round.
This will be the second time that the two sides meet in just two weeks, with their previous match ending in a 3-1 league match win for the Elephants at the Hang Jebat Stadium, on March 25.
