Hougang United vs Geylang International Prediction: Both teams will be pleased with a point apiece

Hougang United will face off against Geylang International on Sunday at the Jalan Besar Stadium. The hosts seem to have found their rhythm after a poor run, but they have a stern test against a solid opponent tomorrow. 

Hougang United (8th)

Last five games: DDLLW

After six games without a breakthrough, Hougang United scored six times against a struggling Tanjong Pagar to bounce back. The result means Hougang United have now played seven games on their home turf without defeat. 

The home team have shown signs of improvement in front of goal but are yet to address their porous defence. Hougang United have let in thirteen goals over their previous seven games while finding the back of the net sixteen times. 

Hougang United have picked up nineteen points from a combined fifty-seven, scoring thirty-five and conceding forty-six. 

The Cheetahs have won three, drawn four, and lost two over their last eight home games. 

Geylang International (3rd)

Last five games: WWWLW

Following their disappointing home display against Tampines Rovers, Geylang International responded with a (4-0) victory over Young Lions. The Eagles have been one of the most consistent teams in the division until their game against Tampines Rovers where they were totally overmatched by their guests. 

Despite their recent loss, the Eagles are still one of the best-performing teams in the division. Geylang International have now scored twenty goals over their last five matches while conceding seven. Geylang International have been pretty solid this season, sharing the spoils seven times, losing three, and winning nine games. They have now scored sixty-seven goals over their last nineteen games while conceding (36) times since the start of the season. 

Noor Ali's men have won five and drawn four on the road this season. 

Expert Betting Tips

Over their previous twenty meetings, Geylang International have won six times while Hougang United have recorded eleven wins and three games ending in a stalemate. Hougang United have not lost any of their last seven home games this season, but will face off against a Geylang International team who are the only unbeaten team on the road this campaign.

Even though this fixture has consistently produced a winner since 2018, I feel tomorrow’s encounter might end in a share of the spoils. Both teams have a record they are protecting; however, I’ll back the Eagles to at least secure a point here, considering their recent form. I also think this game will produce more goals after the break for 1.82.

Geylang International might secure a halftime victory here for 1.88.

Good luck!
