Kota Kinabalu: Sabah Cebagoo FC will be without their captain Reithudin Ag Emran for the second match in a row as they take on Harimau Muda C in the start of their second round campaign in the 2013 FAM League at the UMS Stadium today.
The team was left embarrassed by the young team and lost 1-3 at their previous encounter held a week ago, without several of their senior players.
Coach Razali Zinin said it will be a different scenario this time around and they are aiming for revenge.
The former international said he will be putting out a much stronger team which will see the return of several senior players in the team.
"We are definitely trying to win the match and it won't be an easy passage for Harimau Muda C like they did in the match on April 21 where they were all over us and we were lucky to escape with only a 1-3 defeat," he said on Saturday.
"The result was not a big surprise as we had too many untested players in the match that partly contributed to the loss. For today's match, although Reithudin Ag Emran is still not available and so does Billy Vun Ket Min, but the rest of the senior players will be available."
He said he will most likely recall striker Rainol Masaat who was left out of the team in the previous match to lead the team's attack with Mohd Arif Awang.
"There will be some changes in the defence department with the absence of Reirhudin and the back four for the match tomorrow will feature Mohd Nazrien Sani, Mohd Shapawi Maiddin, Mohd Shafihi Yusof and Adnan Amran."
"The midfield will also see the return of Mohd Nizam Jifferi and Gerd Smith Chin Chiu and they will be supported by Mohd Arfiyansah Abd. Jafar and Zain Ambarog."
The team had only won once in their five home matches played since the start of the season and they lost two and drew the other two.
They are currently in seventh place in the 11 teams table with 11 points collected.
