Albirex Niigata vs Lion City Prediction: The visiting side are the favourite to amass all the points here

On Sunday, Albirex Niigata will square off against Lion City at the Jurong East Stadium. The White Swans have been pretty disappointing this season, but their recent display has been above average. It’s sad to see the defending champions struggle this season, and we’re confident they’ll find it hard to break the guests here. 

Albirex Niigata (8th)

Last five games: WLLWD

The White Swans are unbeaten over their last two matches, heading here with a win and a stalemate. More recently, they played out a negative share of the spoils on the road against Brunei DPMM just after their (2-1) victory over Young Lions. 

Albirex Niigata have now lost eight of their last twelve matches in the league as they sit just three points above the bottom team on the log. Albirex Niigata have lost to teams they usually dominate and score more than two or three, which leaves us with the belief that they might finish at the bottom of the log this season. 

The White Swans have won three and lost three times at home this season. 

Lion City (2nd)

Last five games: WLWWW

The Sailors have now won three consecutive matches since their devastating loss against Tampine Rovers. Lion City found the back of the net three times against Brunei DPMM to secure their ninth win of the season. Lion City have been up and running this season, heading here with nine victories, a defeat and a stalemate. Lion City have scored forty times and conceded twelve goals since the start of the season. Lion City have won four and drawn once from home this campaign. 

Expert Betting Tips

Over their last twenty meetings, Lion City have managed four wins while Albirex Niigata have won eleven and five matches, ending in a stalemate. The hosts have struggled this season after letting go of most of their star players. They have consistently dominated this fixture over the years but lost heavily in the reverse leg. 

Lion City won’t hesitate to avenge all their recent losses against a very weak Albirex Niigata, and we are confident they’ll secure the maximum points before the break for 1.72.

The guests are expected to score more than once at halftime for 1.78.

We expect both teams to get a goal before the break for 3.08.

Good luck!
