Lion City vs Tanjong Pagar Prediction: The Sailors will continue their good run of games

The Sailors could go six points at the top of the log when they host Tanjong Pagar at the Toa Payoh Stadium on Saturday. The Sailors currently lead the league by three points and have a better goal difference of five against title rivals Albirex.

Last five matches: DWLWW

The home team recorded a back-to-back win after the defeat against Albirex Niigata. They have since been solid, scoring fourteen and conceding once.

The Sailors are one the best team in the division; they have lost three games all season. They have scored the second most (63) 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 ten points from a possible fifteen.

The Sailors have forty-five points in twenty games. They have won eight, drawn one and lost once at home this season, scoring twenty-eight goals and conceding seven in that process.

Last five matches: DWLLL

The Jaguars have now lost three games in a row, scoring five and conceding thirteen.

As if the loss against Geylang was not enough, they stumbled on another defeat against the worst team in the league as they were beaten (4-2). They recorded another loss on matchday 20 as Tampines Rovers came back from two goals down to secure all the points on the road.

The Jaguars are third on the log with sixteen points behind Lion City, and it’s unlikely they will challenge either Albirex Niigata or Lion City for the title this season; however, the AFC champions league spot is still available for grabs.

Tanjong Pagar have won five, lost three and drawn twice in the last ten away games.

Lion City have drawn twice and won fifteen, while Tanjong Pagar have won once in the last eighteen games played together.

The Sailors must win to retain the top spot, and we believe they will secure all the points here. Bet on halftime win for 1.59.

Tanjong Pagar have never beaten the Sailors in their seven league meetings (one draw, six losses); the Jaguars were sunk 6-1 in Matchday 6 and (6-0) in Matchday 13 this season. Bet on Lion City to score in both halves for 1.80.

Lastly, we expect the home side to score more than a goal at halftime for 2.01.

Good luck!
