Tanjong Pagar vs Albirex Niigata Prediction: The visitors will finish off their opponent before the break

On Friday, Albirex Niigata will be crowned champions if they secure the maximum points against a struggling Tanjong Pagar side at the Toa Payoh Stadium. The home side won for the first time in eight games against an inferior Young Lions team, while the visitors need just three points to secure back-to-back SPL Premiership.

The Jaguars' winless streak ended after defeating Young Lions (3-2) at home. Even though they scored twice before the break, Young Lions tried to fight back after the break to snatch a point. Not a commanding performance from Tanjong Pagar, who failed to win any of their seven games prior to the victory.

In those matches, they conceded twenty-five times while scoring eleven. Tanjong's major problem lies in their defence, as they have conceded more than a goal over their last ten games. Tanjong Pagar have won three, drawn once and lost six at home this season.
