Geylang International vs Tampines Rovers Prediction: The visitors are expected to triumph over their opponent

Geylang International will square off against Tampines Rovers in their bid to bounce back from their recent defeat away from home at the Jalan Besar Stadium. 

The Eagles began their journey with the same energy, scoring twice at the break but sharing the spoils at the end of the game. New signings Tomoyuki Doi and Muhammad Hamzah scored a goal apiece before the break, giving Geylang International the lead; however, Balestier responded twice after the break to split points. Geylang International started the game on high as usual but were totally overwhelmed in the second half. 

Geylang International finished in fifth place last campaign, twenty-nine points behind the league winners. Noor Ali's men have made some significant strides in ensuring they finish well this season, acquiring the services of Taniguchi, Tomoyuki, and many more. These players will be saddled with the task of ensuring they qualify for the Asian continental tournament next season. 

The Stags came from a goal down to secure the maximum points against the defending champions on their ground. Seun Kunori and Boris Kopitovic were on the scoresheet as they aided their emphatic comeback against Albirex Niigata. 

The Stags, who missed out on the title following their run of five games with just a win towards the end of last season, will strive to compete again this campaign. Tampines Rovers finished in third spot for the second consecutive season, trailing Lion City with six points.

Tampines Rovers have strengthened their squad in the transfer window and look pretty solid on paper going into the league. 

Over their previous twenty meetings, Tampines Rovers have won ten while Geylang International have recorded three wins and four games ending in a deadlock. Geylang International settled for a stalemate on the road in their opening fixture, but nothing has changed about them. They are a team of a half, as they either perform exceptionally well before or after the break. They scored twice in their recent match at halftime but were below par after the break as their opponent responded twice. At the same time, Tampines Rovers had a similar encounter where they lost at the break but found the back of the net three times in the second half to secure the maximum points against the defending champions. 

Since the league just kicked off, it’ll be difficult to determine who goes home with all the points; however, considering their recent games, Tampines Rovers will triumph here.

We think this encounter will witness more goals after the break for 2.30.

We expect to see more than a goal before the break for 1.67.

Good luck!
