Tanjong Pagar vs Albirex Niigata Prediction: The visitors will secure all the points

Title challenger Albirex Niigata will visit Tanjong Pagar at the Toa Payoh Stadium on Saturday. Both teams are desperate for points; however, the visitors seem to be the favourites.

Last five matches: WLLLL

The Jaguars have now lost four games in a row, scoring five and conceding twenty. As if the loss against Geylang was not enough, they stumbled on another defeat against the worst team in the league as they were beaten (4-2). They bowed to a loss again on matchday 20 as Tampines Rovers came back from two goals down to secure all the points on the road. More recently, Tanjong Pagar lost to Lion City on the road as they were beaten (7-0).

The Jaguars are third on the log with nineteen points behind Lion City, and it’s unlikely they will challenge either Albirex Niigata or Lion City for the title this season; however, the AFC champions league spot is still available for grabs.

Tanjong Pagar have won three, lost four and drawn three in the last ten home games.

Last five matches: WDWDW

Albirex Niigata have been inconsistent in the past five games, with three wins and two draws. It will be quite interesting to note that Albirex Niigata have been below par in recent games, and their results are not exhibiting how bad they have been considering the quality of their squad.

They defeated Tampines Rovers (4-2) at home to secure all the points. The match witnessed both teams exchange goals, but in the end, Albirex Niigata were able to scale through.

However, Albirex Niigata have been in tremendous form over the season with thirteen wins, six draws, and two losses, and they trail the table topper with three points. They have scored the most goals (70) and conceded the second-fewest goals (29).

Niigata haven't lost away from home this season; they have recorded five wins and four draws.

The previous twenty games have seen Albirex Niigata with four draws and twelve wins, while Tanjong Pagar have also won four times.

The visitors have been below par in recent games, but they remain one of the best in the league. Tanjong Pagar have been terrible in recent games, and we believe the visiting side will take advantage of their lack of enthusiasm. Bet on the guests to score more than a goal for 1.60.

The guests will push to get a halftime win here for 1.72.

We also expect both teams to get on the score sheet and score more than two goals in total for 2.03.

Good luck!
