Lion City (2nd)

Last five games: WLLLL

The scintillating SPL was decided last week as Albirex Niigata overthrew the Sailors. It was disappointing for the Sailors, who could have dragged the decision back into the last minute but surrendered to a (2-4) to the champions.

Lion City have failed to win any of their last four games and have conceded more than two in those encounters. As if the loss against a lowly rated Balestier Central wasn’t enough, Lion City recorded another defeat but would not finish below the second spot.

They have scored the second most (86) goals this season; not just that, they have been pretty stingy at the back with (37) goals conceded so far, the second lowest in the division.

The Sailors have fifty-one points in twenty-six games, have lost four, and have drawn twice while recording seven victories away from home this season.
