Brunei DPMM vs Albirex Niigata Prediction: We expect a cagey affair between both sides

Welcome to the Singapore Cup tournament, where teams will be grouped into two. The competition is full of surprises, and after watching Hougang United win the cup last season, we expect a more entertaining run in this edition. Brunei DPMM will kick off the tournament with a matchup against SPL champions Albirex Niigata at the Yishun Stadium on Sunday.

The home team head here after wrapping up their SPL campaign in the 7th spot. Brunei DPMM, their worst since 2017. Brunei DPMM had the fourth-best defensive record, conceding forty-three times. They come into this competition since 2019, and their best record here was a runner-up in 2018.

The White Swans secured the fourth SPL title in the previous five seasons and will be hopeful of doing the double here. Albirex Niigata adjusted their defence at the beginning of the season and were rewarded as the best defensive team in the division. Albirex Niigata also scored more than any other sides in the league as they won the league with an eight-point margin.

Over their previous twenty meetings, Albirex Niigata won thirteen, while Brunei DPMM recorded three wins and four games, ending in a share of the spoils. Their last seven meetings have seen less than two goals. Albirex Niigata will be poised to add the Singapore Cup to their cabinet, while Brunei DPMM will strive to console their fans by triumphing in this competition after their poor ending in the SPL league. Their meeting have always been cagey, and we expect to see less than three goals for 2.03.

We expect to see less than a goal before the break for 1.88.

We expect the visitors to get a halftime win for 1.58.

Good luck!
