The New Saints vs Sabah prediction

In the first-leg of this UEFA Champions League first qualifying round tie, Sabah defeated The New Saints by two goals to nil at the Bank Respublika Arena in Masazir last week. Veljko Simic and Kaheem Parris scored the goals for Sabah before they were reduced to ten men in second half stoppage-time due to a Steve Solvet red card.

TNS have shown improvement in UEFA competition, reaching the league phase of UEFA Europa Conference League 2024-25 – but they have seemingly regressed once again.

Even away from home, Sabah will fancy themselves to come out on top against what is poor opposition, even in the context of the first qualifying round of the UEFA Champions League.
