Tanjong Pagar vs Lion City Prediction: The visitors will maintain their unbeaten run

On Saturday, Tanjong Pagar will square off against Lion City at the Toa Payoh Stadium. The visitors have won ten consecutive games against the home team, and we don’t think the run will end soon.

Last five games: WLWLL

The Jaguars are struggling to win games this season and have lost ten in their last fourteen games. After their scrappy victory against Young Lions, they bow to a (4-3) defeat on the road. Balestier Central were just too strong for Tanjong Pagar, who were reduced to ten men. After the game, they lost by four goals to nothing on the road against Albirex Niigata.

Tanjong's major problem lies in their defence, as they have conceded more than a goal over their last nine games.

Tanjong Pagar are definitely a great side, but they will need two or more signings to compete with the top guys in the league. Tanjong Pagar have won twice and lost four at home this season.

The Sailors are unbeaten over their last nine games, winning six while sharing the spoils three times. The Sailors came from a goal down to salvage a point against Tampines Rovers. After that, they defeated a resurgent Young Lions at home, scoring four while the visitors responded once. More recently, they won comfortably against Hougang United without conceding.

Lion City have been inconsistent in recent games despite their great runs, and anything aside, a victory here will be disastrous in the long run. Lion City failed to claim their spot and are now third on the log with four points behind the league leaders. Lion City have won three, lost twice and drawn two in their last seven away games.

Over their previous twenty meetings, Lion City have won seventeen times while Tanjong Pagar have won once and drawn twice. Lion City have improved in their last two games, dominating their opponents. They have scored seven times while conceding once. The Singapore Premier League has now turned to a three-man race, and a slack for the Sailors will take them time to recover. Tanjong Pagar have conceded eight goals in their last two games, and we can’t see them shutting out the visitors. We expect the visitors to win at halftime for 1.72.

Lion City will score in both halves for 1.85.

We expect more than a goal before the break for 1.78.

Good luck!
