Expert Betting Tips
Over their previous twenty meetings, Lion City have won eleven while Hougang United have managed four wins and five games ending in a tie. Lion City have faced more robust opponents in this competition and still remain unbeaten despite jumping from AFC Champions League to the Singapore Cup. On the opposing end, Hougang have not been bad either, just that they have faced easier teams in this tournament. Regarding quality, Lion City are heads and shoulders above the visitors, but since it’s a final game, we expect Hougang to put up a solid performance here. We expect Lions City to advance to the next round, considering their recent display against a tough Tampines Rovers team: bet on halftime over 1.5 goals for 1.81.
The home side will score in both halves for 1.65.
We expect Lion City to win before the breaks for 1.80.
Good luck!
