Lion City vs Balestier Central Prediction: The guests won’t bow without a fight

The Sailors will be keen to return to maintain their momentum when they host Balestier Central at the Bishan Stadium on Sunday. The guests have been in decent shape lately, and we expect them to go toe-to-toe with the hosts here.

Following their back-to-back wins over Hougang United and Tanjong Pagar, the Tigers failed to get past Brunei DPMM, settling for a (2-2) stalemate with ten men. The hosts neutralized Balestier Central, who restrained the Tigers from executing their tactics. Balestier Central have gone six games without defeat and they’ll be keen to keep in shape. 

Balestier Central have scored more than a goal in all their matches this season, but their defense has been abysmal this campaign, which might cost them a top-four finish in the long run. 

Peter de Roo's men have won twice, lost three games, and drawn twice on the road this season. 

Over their previous twenty games, Lion City have won thirteen while Balestier Central have recorded four victories and three games ending in a stalemate. Lion City have not been consistent lately but head here with a deserved win over Tanjong Pagar. At the same time, Balestier Central extended their unbeaten run to six games. 

The hosts have won four consecutive games against Balestier Central, scoring more than two goals. However, something is certain here: the hosts will always find the back of the net, as they have scored more than one goal since the start of this campaign.

Lion City are by far the better team here and we think they’ll amass all the points.

This game will produce more goals after the break for 1.90.

Good luck!
