Lion City vs Tampines Rovers FC Prediction: The Sailors won’t hold back in this Derby game

The stage is set for the biggest game in the division as Lion City face off against Tampines Rovers in an attempt to extend their lead on the standings at the Toa Payoh Stadium on Wednesday. For the guests, a win will reduce the deficit to three points on the log, but it will cost an arm and a leg to do that against a solid Lion City. 

Lion City (1st)

Last five matches: WWWWW

The Sailors continued their decent form in the league as they secured the maximum points against Balestier Central. Lion City scored five and conceded once against Balestier Central away from home. This was after their emphatic victory over Tanjong Pagar on their home turf. Lion City scored four times and conceded once against their opponent, as they extended their winning streak to six in the league. Lion City continue their decent run in the league, heading with ten unbeaten runs in the league. 

Lion City's performance has been consistent this campaign, and they’ll be keen to maintain their momentum in the second phase of the season. 

Lion City have won nine, drawn a game, and lost once over their last eleven home matches. 

Tampines Rovers (2nd)

Last five games: WWLWW

The White Swans fought tooth and nail to secure all the points against Brunei DPMM. Tampines Rovers were almost going to settle for a share of the spoils despite firing twenty-one shots in the game. They scored just once to amass all the points on their home ground to keep their hope of challenging for the title alive. It was not their best performance, but they got the job done. 

Tampines Rovers, who had a pretty start to the season, head here with four wins in five games and presently sit in second spot. Tampines Rovers have won seven, lost once, and drawn three on the road since the start of this competition. 

Expert Betting Tips

Over their previous ten meetings, Lion City have won four while Tampines Rovers have recorded three wins and three games ending in a draw. Lion City have won five consecutive games in all competitions and have been at the top of their game lately. The Sailors are far above any side in the league and it’s looking like they’ll finally win the SPL title. On the other hand, Tampines Rovers have not really recovered from the loss of their top scorer, Boris Kopitovic, who was sold last month. They have struggled in front of goal, especially against a decent defense.

Lion City are more than capable of securing all the points here, even though the guests won’t bow without a fight. The Sailors are my favorite pick here, and although a home win or draw is the most reliable outcome, they’ll definitely secure all the points for 1.85 at (Bet365).

I also expect to see more than a goal before the break for 1.96 at (Betway).

Lion City will be at the top of their game and might likely secure all the points before the break for 2.27 at (1xbet).

Good luck!
