Lion City vs Tampines Rovers Prediction: The Sailors will return to winning ways

The Sailors will square off with Tampines Rovers at the Yishun Stadium on Sunday. It's very important to point out that Tampines last defeated the Sailors in March 2020 and also won all three head-to-head league meetings during the 2019 season. Can the Sailors return to winning ways?

LION CITY (1st)

Last five matches: LWWLL

The Sailors are literally the best team in the division; they have lost twice all season. They have scored the second most goals (45) goals this season; not just that, they have been pretty stingy at the back with (13) goals conceded so far, the lowest in the division. After their disappointing outing in the Asian Champion League, they picked themselves up and are now at the league's top with a two-point gap.

However, they have been underperforming in the past two games with two points from a possible six, a draw against Hougang United at home was followed by another (1-1) draw with Geylang International. They have been pretty unfortunate in those games and we believe they will get it right against Tampines Rovers.

They have won six, drawn one and lost once in all the games played at home this season, scoring twenty-two goals and conceding just six in that process.

Tampines Rovers (4th)

Last five matches: WLDLW

The White Swans won their first match in four tries when they trashed Young Lion (5-2) on matchday 16. The win moved them up to fourth place and seven-point away from third place. 

They have been playing badly in recent matches but we believe the win against Young Lions will further boost their momentum as they fight for the AFC Cup spot.

The visitors have won a match, drawn twice and lost four times in the last seven games away from home.

Expert Betting Tips

The last twenty matches between both teams have been in favour of the Tampines Rovers as they have won nine times while Lion City have recorded six wins with five matches ending in a draw.

Lion City will need to put in more effort if they are to win this match, it's not going to be a walkover for them, but a win is inevitable for them for 1.55.

Lion City understands what is at stake, they now lead with two points and a slip here might cost them the top spot; bet on a halftime win for 2.01.

We are trusting both teams to produce more than three goals for 1.90.

Good luck!
