The Sailors' unbeaten run ended when they lost to DPMM at home. Before their new signing red card in the 32nd minute, the visitors had taken an early head as they fully took advantage of ten men Sailors. Lion City tried to crawl back into the game, but unfortunately, it was too late as the visitors extended their lead.

Before the encounter, the Sailors have been unbeaten over their last eleven games, winning eight while sharing the spoils three times. Lion City returned to the third spot on the log and are now five points behind the league leaders.

Lion City have won five, lost twice and drawn two over their last nine away games.

Over their last twenty meetings, Lion City have managed two wins while Albirex Niigata have won twelve and six games ending in a deadlock. The Sailors were humiliated against an average Brunei DPMM, but it was an understandable defeat following their red card in the 32nd minute. Albirex Niigata, on the other hand, have struggled to get goals against top sides. The White Swans have a far better team than the visitors and have dominated this encounter in recent years; bet on a home win for 1.88.

Albirex Niigata doesn’t concede just anyhow at home, but we expect the visitors to get a goal here; bet on BTTS and over 2.5 goals for 1.86.

Albirex Niigata are expected to secure a halftime victory here for 2.26.

Good luck!
