In the last twenty meetings between both teams, the Sailors have won sixteen times, drawn a match and lost three times.

Noor Ali’s side posed some serious questions to the Sailors this season, and are one of only two teams, along with Albirex Niigata to claim a win over the defending champions. Geylang ran out 1-0 winners at home earlier this year in March and was perhaps unlucky not to claim a point in a 1-0 defeat at Jalan Besar two months later.

The Sailors won't lose two matches in a row, we are trusting them with a halftime win for 1.70.

It's not going to be a smooth ride for the visitors, however, they would score in both halves for 2.08.

A win in both halves for the visitors won't be a bad option for 2.09.

Good luck!
