Young Lions vs Hougang United Prediction: We expect a great start from the visitors

Young Lions will face off against Hougang United at the Jalan Besar Stadium on Saturday. The guests have been up and running lately but face off against resurgent hosts, who’ll be keen to win their first home game in five fixtures. 

Young Lions (7th)

Last five games: LLWLD

The hosts head here with a decent performance against Tampines Rovers on the road. The (2-2) stalemate was one of their best performances since the start of the season. The result came following their defeat against Balestier Khalsa on their home turf. The (2-2) share of the spoils on the road was their second tie of the season. In the previous campaign, Young Lions won just a game in the entire season but have won four already. 

They have conceded thirty-six times in just thirteen matches as they sit in 7th place on the log. Young Lions, who finished at the bottom of the log for three consecutive seasons, have had a great start to this campaign, and we expect them to put up a great fight here. Young Lions have won twice and lost five on their ground this season.
