Young Lions vs Tanjong Pagar Prediction: Both teams will be pleased with a point apiece

Young Lions will face off against Tanjong Pagar on Saturday at the Jalan Besar Stadium. The guests have been terrible since the season started and have a difficult task ahead of their clash against a youthful Young Lions side tomorrow. 

Young Lions (8th)

Last five games: DDWLL

The hosts head here with a disappointing performance against Albirex Niigata at home. Young Lions didn’t do anything to deserve a point talk more about securing the win, as they were totally dominated by their guests. They conceded once in a game that could have ended in more than three goals, as Albirex Niigata were wasteful. Before the back-to-back losses, Young Lions were on a three-game unbeaten run in the league. 

In the previous campaign, Young Lions won just a game in the entire season but have won five already. 

They have conceded fifty-four times in nineteen matches as they sit in 8th place on the log. Young Lions have won twice, drawn once, and lost six on their ground this season. 

Tanjong Pagar (9th)

Last five matches: LLLLL

The Jaguars have failed to impress both home and away for the umpteenth time this season. The Jaguars march here with another defeat on the road, conceding five times against Tampines Rovers. Tanjong Pagar have now lost six consecutive matches and have not won in twelve games. 

Tanjong Pagar have let in the most goals in the division (73) and have lost fifteen times in eighteen starts to the season.

The guests have lost nine and drawn once on the road this season.  

Expert Betting Tips

Over their previous twenty meetings, Tanjong Pagar have won thirteen while Young Lions have managed six wins and a game ending in a tie. Young Lions head here without enough quality as they have let go of four starters without replacements, including their highest goal scorer, Ituski Enomoto. Additionally, Young Lions will play this game without their coach, Nasir, who joined a Japanese side. It’s a new team entirely and we are unsure how they’ll adapt without these players. On the other hand, nothing much has changed about Tanjong Pagar, who have only acquired a new coach and sold one of their top defenders.

This is a dicey game as it could end both ways, but because of how weak the hosts are on paper, I will try my luck with Tanjong Pagar. I expect the guests to at least get a goal before the break against the home team for 1.73 at (Betway).

I also think fewer goals will surface here since both teams lack prolific goal scorers; bet on a total of under 4.5 goals for 1.61 at (Bet365).

A share of the spoils could surface here for 4.45 at (1xbet).

Good luck!
