Following their back-to-back defeats against Brunei DPMM and Geylang International, the Sailors recovered two wins in two games to reduce the league leaders' point at the top of the log. Lion City defeated the in-form Balestier Central (5-2) at home to overtake Tampines Rovers in second spot. Lion City have picked up forty-five points from a possible sixty-three, and they will most definitely play AFC Champions League football.

Lion City have won five, two, and drawn three over their last ten away games.

Over their twenty previous meetings, Lion City have won six while Tampines Rovers have recorded nine victories and five games ending in a tie. Tampines Rovers have been the better side over their last three meetings, winning twice and sharing the spoils once. The Stags have been unlucky over their previous two games in the league, but we expect them to bounce back against Lion City, who have also been unstable in recent games. We expect both sides to get a goal and home win or draw for 1.80.

Both sides will definitely get more than two goals here and score each other for 1.73.

Tampines Rovers are expected to secure all the points here for 2.18.

Good luck!
