Despite their superb form this season, they have been terrible at the back. Balestier Central have conceded the second most goals (61) in twenty games, which have hindered their hope of securing a spot in next season’s AFC Champions League.

Balestier are the third-best away team in the division, with seven wins and four defeats.

Over their previous twenty games, Geylang International have won twelve, while seven matches ended in a victory for Balestier Central and a game ended in a draw. Geylang International were overpowered by the best side in the league a few days ago, and we believe they’ll bounce back here. On the other hand, Balestier Central lost back-to-back, and it looks like they lost their charm with three games to wrap up the season. Both sides have a good scoring record in this competition, and we expect them to get a goal apiece and score more than two goals for 1.80.

Geylang International will be eyeing their opponent's spot on the log, and a victory here will give them the edge; bet on a home win for 2.20.

We expect to see more than a goal before the break for 2.01.

Good luck!
