Albirex Niigata vs Hougang United Prediction: Home side won’t disappoint

On Friday, Champions Albirex Niigata will host Hougang United at the Toa Payoh Stadium. The SPL champions will be hopeful of securing their second trophy this season.

After winning all three games in the group stage, the champions had a smooth sail heading into the semifinals. They scored seven times while conceding just once, with their last win against arch-rival Lion City.

Albirex Niigata have won this title four times, with the most recent in 2018.

The visitors were lucky to have made it to this level after being tied on points with Tanjong Pagar in the second spot. They won twice while recording a loss against Tanjong Pagar.

If Hougang United manage to win here, they might secure the title afterwards.

The previous twenty meetings ended in eleven wins for Albirex Niigata, while the visitors have managed just three wins and six draws.

Albirex Niigata will be careful not to lose here, as the second leg might be difficult. It’s a challenging game, but we are trusting the home side with a halftime win for 1.80.

We might get to see over 1.5 goals scored before the break for 1.89.

Bet on the home side scoring both halves for 1.90.

Good luck!
