Hougang United vs Brunei DPMM Prediction: Both teams will be pleased with a point apiece

On Friday, Hougang United will face off against Brunei DPMM at the Jalan Besar Stadium. The hosts seem to have found their rhythm after a poor start to the season, and they’ll be keen to go toe-to-toe against arguably one of the best in-form sides in the division. 

Last five games: WWLDD

The hosts have now gone three games without a breakthrough, sharing the spoils in two games and losing a game. More recently, Hougang United settled for a stalemate after leading (2-4) before the break against Young Lions. The game, which ended in a (4-4) tie, was their sixth draw of the campaign. 

Hougang United played their hearts out and defended like a team; unfortunately, the hosts were just too good to handle. 

The Cheetahs have won twice, drawn three, and lost two over their last seven home games. ;

Last five matches: DWDDW

James McAllister's men have been stable lately and they’re now enjoying the tactical diligence of their new coach. Brunei DPMM snatched victory in the jaws of defeat against Tampines Rovers, becoming the only team to have defeated the guests this season. Tampines Rovers, who were excellent against Brunei DPMM, thought they had all the points in the bag until they scored twice in the last few minutes of the game to secure the maximum points. 

The guests have suffered six defeats in this campaign and have been unbeaten in their last five matches. Brunei DPMM have now let in thirty-one goals in just sixteen starts to the season. Brunei DPMM have lost four and won three games on the road this season. 

Over their previous twenty meetings, Brunei DPMM have won eleven times while Hougang United have recorded six wins and three games ending in a stalemate. Brunei DPMM were formidable in their recent game, and they head here with great enthusiasm. Unfortunately, the hosts are yet to win any of their last three games and they’ll be keen to return to winning ways.

Both teams have been in decent shape lately, and we think the most reasonable outcome here is a share of the spoils.

We also expect to see less than four goals here for 1.83.

The guests will definitely secure a win in either half for 1.83.

Good luck!
