AFC Cup, Malaysia Cup play-off and AFF U19

After the end of MSL and MPL season, fans are pretty much turning their attention to AFC Cup Quarter Final with both JDT and Pahang involved. There is also Malaysia Cup play-off to determine the final two team for the competition. In the youth scene, Harimau Muda C currently compete in the AFF U19, with high expectation after months of preparation in Slovakia.

Mario Gomez will be facing his former team tonight, as JDT are looking for a strong lead in the first leg. After their recent success in the league, they are seeking for more on the more prestige tournament. The return of Marcos Antonio at the heart of defence will be huge boost for the home side.

NS Matrix will be a much fancied team to be in Malaysia Cup since they have larger fan base and has been around much longer than ATM. NS also recorded a better form compare to the relegated ATM. A win for the away side would be a likely result.

Sime Darby should be winning this despite their recent slump in the league. No one would fancy to see two JDTs in the same competition. This is the time to prove that they are worthy opponent in Malaysia Cup.

Malaysia v Singapore would be a mouth-watering clash if it's senior side due to the strong rivalry between the two sides. But on the youth level, this should be an easy one for the Harimau Muda C since there is such a clear distinction in the team's ability.
