Albirex Niigata vs Tampines Rovers Prediction: The guests are the closest to securing all the points

Albirex Niigata have a stern test ahead of their clash against Tampines Rovers at the Jurong East Stadium on Saturday. The hosts, who have had a tough time since the second half of the season began will be keen to secure their first win in three games. 

Albirex Niigata

The White Swans head here with a poor performance against Hougang United FC, scoring a goal against a well-organised side. Albirex Niigata look very disconnected from this tournament, and we are not sure they really want to win the trophy. Their performance have been poor, as they suffered a (1-2) loss on their home turf. 

Albirex secured four SPL titles in the previous five seasons but have been below par this campaign. They have been weakened by the Singapore Association which laid out how many foreign players are required in a team. 

Albirex Niigata have lost twice and drawn once in their last three games. 

Tampines Rovers

The Stags have been inconsistent this season as they head here with a stalemate in the opening game of the competition. Despite being in the driving seat and firing twenty-four shots, Tampines Rovers scored just once and were stunned by the guests who levelled to split points on their home turf. Tampines Rovers were fantastic in the group stage last campaign but couldn’t compete against Lion City. 

The Stags, who missed out on the Singapore Cup last season, will strive to secure their third Singapore Cup. Tampines Rovers are a top side, and we expect them to at least reach the finals this campaign. 

Expert Betting Tips

Over their previous ten meetings, Tampines Rovers have won five while Albirex Niigata have recorded three victories and two games ending in a tie. Albirex Niigata doesn’t seem like they are interested in winning the Singapore Cup, and with a defeat in their opening game, they might prioritise this competition. On the other hand, Tampines Rovers have been unstable even though they have the second-best team in the division.

I’m not sure both teams will feature all their key players, but I’m confident the guests won’t lose this encounter; bet on away win or draw and BTTS for 1.70 at (Betway).

I also think this game won’t produce lots of goals as both teams will be careful not to injure themselves; bet on a total of under 4.5 goals for 1.60 at (Bet365).

Tampines Rovers might secure a halftime win here for 2.00 at (1xbet). 

Good luck!
