Hougang United vs Brunei DPMM Prediction: The visitors stand a better chance here

Hougang United will face off against Brunei DPMM at the Hougang Stadium on Sunday. The defending champions will be keen to retain the trophy, while the visitors can’t afford to lose focus at this stage.

The Tigers finished second on the log, winning one in three games. More recently, they settled for a (1-1) share of the spoils against a tired Lion City team. In the intercontinental phase, Hougang were humiliated on their ground against Sabah FC, conceding four times and managing to respond once.

The Tigers have not been clinical in this competition and are lucky to have finished in second place in the group.

The visitors are determined to prove themselves in this competition, as they picked up ten points from their previous four games. Brunei DPMM won the group after going four games undefeated. A group that has the league champions and third-best team in the country. They wrapped the group up with a slim (0-1) victory over Young Lions.

Brunei DPMM wrapped up their SPL campaign in the 7th spot, their worst since 2017. Brunei DPMM had the fourth-best defensive record, conceding forty-three times. They came into this competition since 2019, and their best record here was a runner-up in 2018.

Over their previous twenty meetings, DPMM have won twelve while Hougang United have recorded five wins and three games ending in a tie. Even though Hougang United are the defending champions, they’ve been poor so far in this competition, unlike the visitors, who are unbeaten and won their group. We believe the visitors are well prepared for this encounter and will take advantage of their opponent, who head here following their home defeat in the intercontinental tournament. We are confident the visitors won’t lose here; bet on an away win for 2.50.

We expect this encounter to end in a total under 1.5 goals at the break for 1.74.

We expect the visitors to win or draw and score less than three goals for 2.30.

Good luck!
