Balestier Central vs Lion City Prediction: We expect goals at both ends here

Balestier Central will square off with Lion City at the Tao Payoh Stadium on Monday. Can the visitors make it four wins in four against the home team this season?

The Tigers had a great run in the SPL, wrapping up their season in fourth place. Balestier Central were the only side who didn’t draw a game in the league; they lost twelve and won twelve times.

Balestier Central won just once in their previous outing in this competition, and we expect them to do better this time.

After a disappointing season, which saw them lose the SPL title to Albirex Niigata for the second consecutive season, the Sailors will be out to console their fans by winning this tournament.

They failed to make it out of the group phase last season, but they are expected to go far this campaign.

Balestier Central have won five, while Lion City have recorded eleven wins and four games, ending in a share of the spoils over their previous twenty meetings. Balestier Central lost their rhythm toward the end of the season as they went five games with just a victory. On the other hand, the Sailors have won five consecutive games in the league. The visitors stand a better chance here as they have won all their games against Balestier Central this season; bet on an away score in both halves for 1.85.

Both sides are expected to get a goal apiece before the break for 1.64.

We expect the visitors to get the maximum points and score more than three goals for 2.40.

Good luck!
