Football: LionsXII prepare to face ATM

SINGAPORE: Singapore’s LionsXII face a make—or—break match in the second leg of the Malaysia Cup semi—finals on Thursday.

They are level one all against Angkatan Tentera Malaysia (ATM) FA after the first leg.

And the decider will be played at Selangor’s Selayang Stadium.

Singapore’s LionsXII coach V Sundramoorthy is facing problems with his defence.

Safuwan Baharudin and Irwan Shah are both suspended.

Sundramoorthy explained why the Lions won’t be training in Kuala Lumpur ahead of the match.

He said: "The whole season we’ve been training at Singapore before we depart to a match, especially an away game. So I don’t want to change anything. I want to train at home and go away. And we have our travelling constraints with the boys in National Service."
