PERAK v LionsXII (Tonight, 8.30pm, StarHub TV Ch 201) IT MAY have been his genuine assessment of the LionsXII, or an attempt to heap more pressure. After describing the Singaporean side as the competition’s “best” yesterday, Perak coach Azraai Khor also added that the top-team status would only serve to motivate his men even more. The two teams meet tonight at Ipoh Stadium in a pivotal moment of the title race, and Azraai said yesterday: “Definitely, the LionsXII are best team in the MSL.” The LionsXII are four points clear of second-placed Johor Darul Takzim with three games left in the 2013 campaign. A win over the Seladang tonight means V Sundramoorthy’s side could seal the title next Tuesday by beating Felda at the Jalan Besar Stadium. So Malaysian pride is at stake tonight, according to the Perak coach. “This is our league. If we let (Singapore) take the trophy, where will we put our faces?” the 60-year-old said. Perak will be relying on red-hot striker Paulo Rangel (above), who has scored seven goals in eight league games since arriving in April.
