Tampines Rovers FC vs Brunei DPMM FC Prediction: We expect the hosts to triumph here

On Saturday, Tampines Rovers will lock horns against Brunei DPMM at Our Tampines Hub in the opening game of the Singapore Cup. The Stags secured third place in the competition last season, defeating Brunei DPMM, and they’ll be keen to go far this season. 

Tampines Rovers

The Stags have been inconsistent this season as they head here after their humiliating display against Hougang United in the Premier League. Tampines Rovers were fantastic in the group stage last campaign but couldn’t compete against Lion City. 

The Stags, who missed out on the Singapore Cup last season, will strive to secure their third Singapore Cup. Tampines Rovers are a top side and we expect them to at least reach the finals this campaign. 

Brunei DPMM FC

James McAllister's men head here with back-to-back defeats, this time against Hougang United and Geylang International. It was a below-par display for Brunei DPMM, who created enough chances but were wasteful. Brunei DPMM looked very weak against both opponents and deserved the loss.

Brunei DPMM have suffered ten defeats and have now let in forty-seven goals in twenty starts to the season. 

Brunei DPMM have won four, lost five, and drawn once on the road this season. 

Expert Betting Tips

Over their previous ten meetings, Brunei DPMM have won three while Tampines Rovers have won six and a game ending in a deadlock. Both sides met in the third round of the competition last season when Tampines Rovers won (2-0) to deny Brunei DPMM three points. 

We expect the Stags to put up a good shift here after their poor display in recent games, the same as DPMM, who will strive to bounce back here. 

Tampine Rovers who were knocked out of the AFC Champions League can’t afford to miss out on this competition. We don’t know if they’ll prioritize this Cup but we expect them to be stronger against their struggling opponent; bet on a home halftime win for 1.75 at (Bet365).

I also think the second half will witness more goals for 2.02 at (Betway).

Small teams always perform well in this competition but failing to score in their last two matches makes me think Brunei DPMM won’t be able to pull any surprise stunt here; bet on home win and BTTS for 2.00 at (1xbet).

Good luck!
