After fifty days without league action, the SPL resumes with Brunei DPMM facing off against Lion City in their attempt to secure two consecutive wins at the Hassanal Bolkiah National Stadium on Monday.

Last five matches: DWDLD

James McAllister's men have really not been bad lately after their rough start to the season. Brunei DPMM have lost just a game in their last seven matches heading here with an excellent performance against Albirex Niigata on the road. They bounced back from a goal down to cart away the maximum points. This was after their shocking (0-3) loss on their home turf. 

Brunei DPMM have suffered seven defeats this campaign and can’t afford to drop points on their ground; Brunei DPMM have now let in thirty-eight goals in eighteen starts to the season.

Lion City (2nd)

Last five games: DWWDW

The Sailors march here with five unbeaten runs and have lost once in over nine games. Before the break, Lion City scored three times and conceded once against Hougang United. The Sailors were at the top of their game and were able to convert all their shots on target. This was after their (2-2) stalemate against Tampines Rovers on the road. 

Lion City's performance hasn't been consistent this campaign, and they’ll be keen to change a lot when they finally resume on the field of play tomorrow. They have picked up thirty-nine points from a combined fifty-one, conceding twenty-one and scoring fifty-seven.
