Hougang United's four consecutive victories ended when they lost (2-0) against Tampines Rovers. After denying the home side penetration before the break, Hougang United lost focus as Tampines Rovers struck twice to obtain all the points.

That’s the only game they failed to score over their previous five meetings. Hougang United have scored the second-fewest goals in this campaign, and it will be hard for them to make the Asian Champions League spot. Hougang United have also conceded thirty-one times while scoring nineteen goals.

Hougang United have lost three and won three on the road this season.

Lion City have won ten while Hougang have recorded five victories and five games ending in a share of the spoils over their last twenty meetings. Hougang United really did well in their most recent games but struggled to get goals. That has been their problem since the beginning of the season. They must be at their best or pray the home side receives a red card to stand a chance here. On the other hand, the Sailors will do everything to keep up with the top spot, and we can’t see them dropping points here; bet on a home win before the break for 1.78.

We also expect both teams to get more than two goals before the break for the break for 1.71.

This encounter will end in a total of over 2.5 goals and BTTS for 2.01.

Good luck!
