Brunei DPMM FC Host Kelantan Today
By Dannie Abu Basrah

Bandar Seri Begawan - Brunei DPMM FC will host Kelantan tonight at the Hassanal Bolkiah National Stadium in the fourth last game of the 2005/2006 Malaysian Premier League Group A season before they play away to Perak UPB on May 6 followed by two tough home games to Kedah and Sarawak on May 9 and 22 respectively.

Tonight's game is important to Brunei DPMM FC as they stand the chance to climb up to third place with a win, their highest season standing,- but will also depend on the result at the Sultan Ismail Nasiruddin Shah Stadium as they need the favour of the host, current league leaders Terengganu to beat Johor who are currently third with a game in hand.

Both teams come into tonight's match from a 4-2 victory previously as Brunei DPMM FC came from behind to beat Pulau Pinang NTFA at the Batu Kawan stadium while Kelantan defeated Perak UPB on home ground, the Sultan Mohd IV Stadium in Kota Baru.

Tiago Dos Santos will certainly be looking forward to the match as the Brazilian is looking hot from his comeback helping Brunei DPMM FC to a 4-2 victory over Pulau Pinang NTFA previously, scoring his second hat trick of the season contributing to his nine goals tally.

The Brazilian's first hat-trick came in the second round clash between Brunei DPMM FC and coincidently tonight's opponent, Kelantan, on March 4 as he netted a hat-trick in the 5-1 home win.

But Kelantan emerged as winners in the first round as they beat Brunei DPMM FC 2-0 at the Sultan Mohd IV Stadium.

Meanwhile in other matches, Sarawak will host Pulau Pinang NTFA at the Sarawak Stadium in Kuching while Kedah travel to the TLDM Stadium in Lumut to take on Perak UPB.
