Balestier Central vs Lion City Prediction: The guests are the closest to securing the maximum points here

Balestier Central will square off against Lion City at the Bishan Stadium on Saturday. The Tigers have had a great start to the season but face a difficult challenge against the best team in the division tomorrow. 

Last five games. WLDWW

Since their (4-2) defeat against Tampines Rovers, the Tigers are undefeated in their last three games. Balestier Central amassed all the points against a struggling Brunei DPMM, scoring four goals after conceding first. 

Balestier Central have scored more than a goal in all their matches this season, but their defence have been abysmal this season, and that might cost them a top-four finish in the long run. 

Balestier Central have won twice, drawn once and lost a game at home this season.

After the share of the spoils against Geylang International on the road, Lion City secured the maximum points over Tanjong Pagar on their ground. The Sailors have been up and running this season, heading here with five victories and a stalemate. Lion City have scored twenty and conceded four goals since the start of the season. They looked like the only team that might secure the SPL title this season, considering their recent recruitment. 

Lion City have won twice and drawn once on the road this season. 

Over their previous twenty meetings, Balestier have won five times while Lion City have won twelve and three matches ending in a tie. The Sailors head here with another decent performance against Tanjong on the road. However, they were not totally convincing even though they found the back of the net three times. At the same time, Balestier Central have improved in front of goal this season, but nothing has been done to their defence. They have conceded eleven times over their previous four matches and must be at their best to deny their opponent goals here. 

It’s always a tough contest when both teams clash, and we think they’ll both get a goal before the break here for 2.51.

The guests are far more potent than the hosts this season, and we think they might get a halftime victory for 1.78.

We also expect to see a BTTS and over 3.5 goals for 1.98.

Good luck!
