Sabah FC supporters remain confident that the Borneo Derby will see Kuching City FC’s impressive start to the 2026 Liga Super campaign come to an end at Likas Stadium.

Despite The Cats recording two convincing victories in their opening Liga Super matches, Sabah FC fans believe their side has what it takes to stop Kuching City’s winning run on home soil.

Sabah FC have also collected six points from their opening two matches, giving The Rhinos (Sang Badak) plenty of confidence heading into the first Borneo Derby of the season.

The strong demand for tickets is another indication of the excitement surrounding the encounter, with reports suggesting that tickets for the highly anticipated clash are selling fast.

Sabah’s recent 1-1 draw against Klang Valley giants Selangor FC has also strengthened belief among their supporters that the team can challenge Kuching City when the two sides meet at Likas on September 5.

Kuching City Fans Want Strongest Line-Up

Kuching City supporters, meanwhile, remain optimistic about their team’s chances but are hoping head coach Aidil Shahrin Sahak will field his strongest possible starting XI in Kota Kinabalu.

Their concerns come after Kuching City were held by KRW FC in the FA Cup recently, with some supporters feeling that the second-placed Liga Super side did not produce their best performance in that encounter.

Kuching City have otherwise enjoyed an impressive start to the campaign, and their supporters will be hoping the team can rediscover the form that saw them record big victories in their opening league matches.

The clash at Likas therefore promises to be more than just another league fixture. With both sides unbeaten in their opening Liga Super matches and confidence high among their supporters, the first Borneo Derby of the season could provide a major test for both teams.

Will Sabah FC fans see their prediction come true and witness Kuching City’s winning run come to an end at Likas?

Or can The Cats continue their impressive scoring form and return to Sarawak with another important victory?

We will find out at Likas. — SarawakCrocs
