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

On Sunday, Albirex Niigata will square off against Young Lions at the Jurong East Stadium. The White Swans have been pretty disappointing this season, and their recent display was beyond belief. It’s sad to see the defending champions sit at the bottom of the log. At the same time, the guests were impressive in their most recent game, even though they had managed just three wins in ten starts. Both teams have been below par, and we suggest a share of the spoils between the two struggling sides. 

Albirex Niigata (9th)

Last five games: LLWLL

The White Swans suffered another terrible defeat, this time against Tampines Rovers. They were not entirely bad but lacked bite in front of goal. The (2-4) defeat was after their (1-0) defeat against Hougang away from home. 

Alvarez Niigata have now lost eight of their last ten matches in the league as they sit at the bottom of the log. Albirex Niigata conceded the highest goals in the league and scored the third-lowest goals. 

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 twice and lost three times at home this season. 

Young Lions (5th)

Last five games: LLDLW

The guests won their third game of the season following their (1-3) victory over Brunei DPMM. The result was after their (0-6) loss against Lion City. Young Lions scored three times and conceded once on the road to secure their first away win in the division. 

Young Lions have now conceded the second most goals this season, and they need to work on their defence. 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 lost three twice, won a game and drawn once on the road this season. 

Expert Betting Tips

Albirex Niigata have lost it and have conceded the most goals this season unlike the guests who have had a decent start to the season compared to their previous campaigns. 

Young Lions play outstanding football and are our favourite to secure the maximum points here; bet on an away win or draw and BTTS for 2.14.

Albirex Niigata will most definitely push to get a win here, but we think the guests won’t be a walkover; bet on halftime BTTS for 2.21.

We expect to see the guests win either half for 1.84.

Good luck!
