Negeri Sembilan FA's first match of the season is away to Selangor FA which is the bogey team for them. In the last 3 seasons, Negeri Sembilan only managed to win once, drew once and lost 4 times. The win came last year when they beat Selangor 3-1 in Shah Alam. Last 3 seasons result:-

With both teams making drastic changes, the match is anticipated by the fans to see whether their team can make a winning start to the season. Selangor, without Bosko Balaban are now having last season MSL's top scorer, Francis Forkey Doe as the lead man in the front line while Negeri Sembilan also lost their striker, Jean Emmanuel Effa Owona to Terengganu and being replaced by the bulky Emmanuel De Porras from Argentina. Negeri Sembilan also lost S.Kunanlan, the nippy winger who made his name at Paroi, to Selangor, and Shukor Adan, their captain last season to ATM. Meanwhile, Selangor lost national skipper, Safiq Rahim to money spender Darul Takzim FC, Amirul Hadi Zainal and Azidan Sarudin, both to Pahang.
Coach Divaldo Alves will probably use his favourite 4-2-3-1 (4-3-3) formation. My probable line-up for Negeri Sembilan against Selangor for tonight match:-
My prediction is a draw for both team. Selangor FA [2 - 2] Negeri Sembilan FA.
