The Tigers' form have nosedived lately, as they march here with two consecutive league defeats. Just after their poor display against Lion City, Balestier Central suffered a shocking defeat on their home ground against Albirex Niigata. Their second-highest scorer, Ismail Sassi, was shown a red card as the guests took advantage in an end-to-end encounter. Before the (2-3) home defeat, Balestier Khalsa lost (3-1) on the road against Lion City.
Balestier Central have scored more than a goal in all but once in their matches this season, but their defence has been abysmal this campaign, which might cost them a top-four finish in the long run.
Peter de Roo's men have won four, lost two times, and drawn three at home this season.
