Albirex Niigata vs Tanjong Pagar Prediction: The hosts' side are the favourite to amass all the points here

On Friday, Albirex Niigata will square off against Tanjong Pagar at the Jurong East Stadium. The White Swans head here with a defeat on the road and will be keen to bounce back against a Tanjong side who have failed to win any of their last seven matches. 

Albirex Niigata (8th)

Last five games: LWDWL

The White Swans suffered their first defeat in four games, conceding five times against Geylang International on the road. The poor display was after their (3-1) victory over Lion City at home. Albirex Niigata, who had five shots at goal, managed to convert just one of them. 

Albirex Niigata have now lost nine of their last fourteen matches in the league as they sit five 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 four and lost three times at home this season. 

Tanjong Pagar (9th)

Last five matches: LLLLDL

After their solid (1-1) display against Brunei DPMM, the Jaguars are back to default, conceding six times against Lion City. Tanjong Pagar, who have been terrible since the start of this campaign, suffered another defeat on their ground. The guests have conceded the most goals (46) and sit comfortably at the bottom of the log. 

Tanjong Pagar have lost ten times in fourteen starts to the season and head here with seven consecutive games without a breakthrough. They have lost six and drawn once on the road this season.

Expert Betting Tips

Tanjong Pagar have managed six wins over their last twenty meetings, while Albirex Niigata have won ten and seven matches, ending in a stalemate. The hosts were on a good run before their recent defeat against Geylang International. They were not entirely bad but failed to convert their chances. At the same time, the guests' woes continued with a disastrous display at home against Lion City.

Albirex Niigata have won 97% of all their points at home this season, and we think they’ll take advantage of their opponent, who are yet to register a win on the road. Both teams will likely get a goal apiece here; bet on a home win and BTTS for 1.84.

We believe this game will produce less than four goals for 1.83.

Good luck!
