Viking and Sabah FA are both going through a tough period. Viking has not won any of their last five matches, with several losses and a draw. They have been scoring and conceding in most of those games, but they are sliding. Sabah FA is also struggling, having lost four of their last five games, including a heavy defeat and a very high-scoring loss. They did manage one win, but their form over the last month is poor.

Because both teams are losing often, this looks like an open match where either side could score, but it also feels very close. Neither team is playing with much confidence, so a draw is the most likely result here, as both sides will be looking to stop the rot.
