Young Lions vs Lion City Prediction: We expect a great start from the visitors

Young Lions will face off against Lion City at the Jalan Besar Stadium on Monday. The hosts have been at their best lately but head here with a stalemate against Hougang United away from home. At the same time, the guests will be keen to bounce back after their recent humiliation at home. 

Last five games: WWLLD

The hosts have now failed to win any of their last three games as they settled for a share of the spoils against Hougang United away from home. They have conceded twenty-three times in just eight matches as they sit in 6th 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 twice on their ground this season. 

Last five games: WDWWL

For the first time this season, the Sailors suffered a defeat in the league and it was a devastating one. For over two years now, Lion City have never conceded five goals in a competitive league game. However, they were tactically overwhelmed by Tampines Rovers, who found the back of the net five times without conceding a goal. It was a bad day at the office for Aleksandar Rankovic's men on their ground. And the defeat suggests power might shift hands this season. 

Lion City have been up and running this season before the defeat, heading here with six victories, a loss, and a stalemate. Lion City have scored twenty-four and conceded eleven goals since the start of the season. Lion City have won three and drawn once on the road this season. 

Over their previous twenty meetings, Lion City have won sixteen games while Young Lions have managed one win and three games ending in a tie. The guests have started the season with great enthusiasm but head here with a heavy defeat away from home. They will be keen to adjust quickly against Young Lions, who will probably want to take advantage of their recent lapses. 

We don’t think Lion City will lose back-to-back games, and we expect them to return to winning ways.

We anticipate a great start from both teams, with goals at both ends for 2.80.

This game will produce more goals after the break for 1.79.

Good luck!
