Kedah brace for Amri and his charging Rhinos

AFTER seeing the Rhinos charge their way to two straight wins, Kedah coach Aidil Sharin Sahak admits his team have much to be wary of Sabah.

And there is one dangerous Rhino that Kedah have to watch out for. Expect Aidil to tell his players to pay special attention to veteran Amri Yahyah who has scored four goals in his last three games for Sabah.

Though Kedah beat Sabah 2-0 at Darulaman Stadium on March 9, Aidil felt the East Malaysian side are growing stronger.

"Definitely, Sabah are getting better and better and have gotten their momentum as well. Furthermore, it's a home game for them," said Aidil.

"We have (Sabah) players that we need to watch. Amri is one of them as he has been scoring. Renan Alves will also be there.

"We won't focus solely on him (Amri). Let's not forget that in football there are 11 players."

Kedah will be without Fadzrul Danel Nizam, who is suspended for four matches due to unsporting conduct.

Aidil and his men will go to the Likas Stadium from third spot in the table while hosts Sabah are in seventh place.

Meanwhile, KL City coach Bojan Hodak has admitted he is "scared" to play bottom of the table UiTM FC.

"To be honest, this is the game I am most scared of... because when we play top teams, we will be focused but when we play bottom teams, our players automatically think they will win, and this makes it quite difficult for us," said Hodak.

KL City are sixth in the table while rock bottom UiTM have only one point.
