Ever since their defeat against their archrival, Albirex Niigata, the Sailors have won three games in a row. They have scored twenty-one goals while conceding just once.

The Sailors are the best team in the division; they have lost three games all season. They have scored the second most (70) goals this season; not just that, they have been pretty stingy at the back with (19) goals conceded so far, the lowest in the division. However, Lion City have been performing well in the past five games, with twelve points from a possible fifteen.

The Sailors have forty-eight points in twenty-one games. They have won six, drawn two and lost twice away from home this season, scoring thirty-five goals and conceding twelve in that process.

It has been a close contest between both teams in the last twenty games with nine wins for Lion City, while Hougang United have won six and drawn five.

Although the Sailors haven't lost to Hougang United in the last five games, they have won twice and drawn three times.

The visitors are on another level completely, they play with great enthusiasm, and we expect them to get a halftime win here for 1.75.

We expect both teams to find the back of the net and score more than two goals for 1.90.

Bet on Lion City to score in both halves for 1.94.

Good luck!
