Lion City vs Hougang United Prediction: The hosts can’t afford to lose back-to-back games on their ground

The Sailors will return home where they lost to a tough team recently as they face off against Hougang United at the Bishan Stadium. The guests remain the only team with just a win in the entire campaign, and they stand no chance against a solid Lion City side on their ground. 

Last five games: DWWLW

Following their heaviest defeat against Tampines Rovers, Lion City responded with a (0-6) victory over Lion City away from home. The win, which witnessed six goals, was one of their best performances since the start of the season. Lion City have been up and running this season, heading here with seven victories, a defeat and a stalemate. Lion City have scored thirty and conceded eleven goals since the start of the season. Lion City have won all but once in their last four games on their ground.

The Cheetahs won their first game since March and their very first this season. Stejepan Plazonja scored the only goal that secured them the maximum points against a struggling Albirex Niigata team at home. 

Since the start of this campaign, the Cheetahs have managed to win a game in their last nine matches. Hougang United have now lost four, won once and drawn four, conceding twenty-three and scoring twelve. 

Hougang United were one of the worst teams in the division despite finishing 6th on the log last campaign, and we are not sure they’ll go far this time. The Cheetahs have drawn twice and lost two over their last four away games. 

Over their previous twenty games, Lion City have won eleven while Hougang United have recorded five victories and drawn four. The guests have improved in recent weeks but against average teams. This is their real test this month and it’s against a team who are hungry to retain their spot on the log. 

Lion City won’t lose back-to-back games on their ground, and we expect them to get off to a flying start here.

This game will likely produce more than a goal before the break for 1.60.

We expect to see more than a goal in both halves for 2.11.

Good luck!
