Top teams do battle Sunday
By Dannie Abu Basrah

Ninth-placed Jeruding FC will take on NBT tonight at the Belapan complex in the only Premier 1 fixture today, desperately looking to salvage their season after going through a 3-game losing streak.

For NBT though, inconsistency has been their main problem, a shortcoming that saw them perform like a roller coaster in round 1, winning one week and losing the next

There will be two games on Friday, featuring last week's big winners Indera, who will takes on struggling Bandaran KB at the Belapan complex. The Kuala Belait team have yet to record a win, even after 10 games.

The other fixture at the JBS stadium should be an exciting one, as both teams need to rebound from defeats - Kasuka after their 5-0 thrashing by ABDB last week, and QAF FC who lost 2-1 to leaders DPMM FC despite being in the lead initially.

But the highlight of the week must certainly be the two potentially explosive fixtures on Sunday, which involves the top four teams in Premier 1: DPMM FC hosting AH United at the Jerudong Mini stadium, while ABDB entertains Wijaya at the Penanjong Camp stadium.

Early in round 1 of the Premier 1, DPMM FC were beaten 2-0 by AH United - their one and only defeat so far - before they embarked on an unbeaten run, and have remained undefeated ever since.

The game against AH United is a good platform for their new Croat striker Dalibor Filipovic to build on his impressive debut against QAF FC, when he scored one goal and made the winner for Goran Vusanovic.

The encounter will also be a personal battle for the golden boot between Vusanovic and AH United's Md Shah Razen, both of whom having scored 16 and 14 goals respectively, so far.
