Young Lions vs Hougang United Prediction: We expect a great start from the visitors

Young Lions will face off against Hougang United at the Jalan Besar Stadium on Saturday. The guests have been up and running lately but face off against resurgent hosts, who’ll be keen to win their first home game in five fixtures. 

Last five games: LLWLD

The hosts head here with a decent performance against Tampines Rovers on the road. The (2-2) stalemate was one of their best performances since the start of the season. The result came following their defeat against Balestier Khalsa on their home turf. The (2-2) share of the spoils on the road was their second tie of the season. In the previous campaign, Young Lions won just a game in the entire season but have won four already. 

They have conceded thirty-six times in just thirteen matches as they sit in 7th place on the log. Young Lions, who finished at the bottom of the log for three consecutive seasons, have had a great start to this campaign, and we expect them to put up a great fight here. Young Lions have won twice and lost five on their ground this season. 

Last five games: LWWLD

The guests match here with a share of the spoils against Tampines Rovers on their ground. Hougang United scored first, but the guests responded just before the break. The second half began with both teams asking lots of questions, but the hosts were resilient to split points. They played their hearts out and defended like a team. Hougang United maintained their spot on the log after their performance on their turf. 

The Cheetahs have won once, drawn twice, and lost four over their last seven away games. 

Over their previous twenty meetings, Hougang United have won ten games while Young Lions have managed eight wins and two games ending in a tie. The guests have been up and running in recent games. On the other hand, the hosts have been a better team this season; however, all their victories have come against teams below them or average sides. 

Their most recent meeting ended in a (2-2) stalemate, but Hougang United were struggling, and they’re in a better place than they were last time. They’re the favourite to secure the maximum points here; bet on an away win or draw and BTTS for 1.71.

We expect to see more than a goal before the break for 1.80.

This game might end in a win for the guests for 1.74.

Good luck!
