Albirex Niigata vs Young Lions Prediction: The White Swans won’t hold back at halftime

Albirex Niigata will lock horns with Young Lions at the Tao Payoh Stadium on Saturday. The home side have been in immense form this season and remain the favorite to win the SPL.

Albirex Niigata (1st)

Last five games: WDWDW

The White Swans have been phenomenal since the beginning of the season and have won fourteen times, drawn two times while losing twice. Albirex Niigata came from a goal down to secure all the points against a strong Lion City last week. The game began with both sides creating lots of chances but couldn’t find the back of the net. They settled for a toothless halftime draw; however, the match came alive when Lion City scored from the spot kick. With twenty-seven minutes to play, Albirex Niigata struck three times to overturn the lead as they retained the top spot on the log.

The white Swans have strengthened their defense and have played eighteen games while conceding thirteen times, the least of all clubs. Albirex Niigata have been clinical in front of goal and have scored more than a goal all but twice this season. Albirex Niigata have won eight and lost once at home this season.

Young Lions (9th)

Last five games: LLLLL

Levadia have failed to win any of their last fourteen games and head here following their terrible defensive performance against Tampines Rovers. Young Lions played their hearts out against the title contenders but were overshadowed by the visitors. The five-goal thriller was one of their best performances in a long time, and we feel they deserved a point at least. Young Lions held the Jaguars at halftime time but conceded two goals after the break. The defeat took their losing streak to ten matches. Young Lions were let down by their defenders and have now conceded (57) times this season. Young Lions have lost all their last nine games on the road this season.
