Hougang United vs Tampines Rovers Prediction: The guests are the favorite to secure the maximum points

Hougang United will face off against Tampines Rovers at the Jalan Besar Stadium for the second time this year on Saturday. The guests who are almost guaranteed a spot in the knockout stage can’t afford to drop points against the hosts tomorrow. 

Hougang United

The Cheetahs head here with their second win of the tournament, defeating Brunei DPMM (1-5) away from home. It was one of the most shocking results of the round, as Marko Kraljevic's men found the back of the net five times. 

Hougang United, who started their Cup campaign with a (1-2) victory over Albirex Niigata on the road, suffered a loss against Young Lions on their home turf. 

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 five goals over their previous three games while finding the back of the net seven times. 

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

Tampines Rovers

The Stags have tightened up their defence lately and have been playing very well. More recently, they defeated Young Lions (4-1) to move to the top of the log. The victory, which was inspired by their quick counterattack and solid defensive performance, was a joy to watch. Tampines Rovers began their journey with a (1-1) stalemate against Brunei DPMM but returned to winning against Albirex Niigata. The Stags have not been scoring like they used to in the league, but they stand a chance to do that against their guests tomorrow. 

Tampines Rovers presently sit at the top of the log, and they’ll be keen to win the group. They have picked up seven points from a combined nine, scoring seven and conceding three. 

Expert Betting Tips

Over their previous ten meetings, Tampines Rovers have won five times while Hougang United have recorded three wins and two games ending in a stalemate. Both teams seem to be interested in this tournament as they have been up and running. However, Tampines Rovers believe they stand a better chance of winning a trophy this season, and the only realistic one is the Singapore Cup. 

They will be at their best even though the Cheetahs are definitely going to give them a run for their money at home. Tampines Rovers are a bit more potent than the hosts and I’ll back them to amass all the points here; bet on an away HT win for 2.01 at (Bet365).

I’m also proposing more than a goal at the break as both teams will be keen to start strong; bet on HT over 1.5 goals for 1.97 at (1xbet).

This game won’t produce lots of goals, and I think this game might end in a total under 4.5 goals with the guests winning for 2.33 at (Betway).

Good luck!
