BALESTIER VS TAMPINES: New season, home team to take advantage and win

The Singapore league is back with a banger and Balestier will lock horns with Tampines at the Tao Payoh Stadium on Saturday. Football lovers will be delighted and their expectations are high for the new season. We hope to see a very entertaining match here.

After finishing seventh out of eight teams last season, the aim and the goals of the management will be to rank among the top teams and tomorrow's match will be a perfect avenue to send a message to all the teams in the league.

Ended last season with a loss to Lion City and was beaten hands down 4-1 the match finished.

Two wins and three losses in five matches aren't convincing enough and something has to change.

They finished 4th last season after seven wins, six draws and eight losses, they are back to playing again after some months off. The league is open to teams that win both home and away and this first match away will tell if Tampines are in for it.

Ended the season with a draw against Geylang International to secure 4th place in a match that ended in a 1-1 scoreline.

Having acquired twenty-seven points in twenty-one matches, scoring forty-eight goals and conceding fifty-one goals last season, their dreams are to score enough goals and concede less.

Tampines Rovers FC have won 34 matches and Balestir won seven and 10 matches ended in a draw. On average in direct matches, both teams scored 3.20 goals per Match.

Their defence is not always tidy at the back and goals always flow in encounters like this, although Tampines are very good on paper this much has no favourite, I'm backing the home team to win for 3.70.

Bet on the first half over 1.5 for 1.98.

Home to win either half for 2.13.

Good luck!
