Hougang United vs Young Lions Prediction: The guests will get off to a flying start

Hougang United will face off against Young Lions Central at the Jalan Besar Stadium on Sunday. The hosts are the only team without a win this season, and they’ll be keen to secure the maximum points against a tough Young Lions side tomorrow.

Last five games: LDLDL

Since the start of this campaign, the Cheetahs have failed to win any of their last six matches, heading here with a defeat against Tampines Rovers away from home. They conceded five goals and responded once against the hosts. 

Hougang United have now lost four and drawn twice over their last six games, conceding twenty and scoring eight. 

Hougang United were one of the worst teams in the division despite finishing 6th on the log last campaign, and we are not sure they’ll go far this time. The Cheetahs have spent a lot this campaign but it’s still the same story. 

Last five games: LWWLL

The hosts have been far more impressive this season than they have been since five years. They now play confidently and are not afraid to go toe to toe with any team in the division. Young Lions stumbled on another defeat against a tough team as they conceded twice against a tough Tampines Rovers team. 

They have conceded twenty-one times in just seven matches as they sit in 7th place on the log. Young Lions, who finished at the bottom of the log for three consecutive seasons, will be keen to turn their fortunes around. 

Over their previous twenty meetings, Young Lions have won eight while Hougang United have recorded eleven wins and a game ending in a stalemate. Young Lions have improved lately, even though they’ve lost back-to-back games. On the other hand, Hougang United have been below par since the start of this campaign and are the only side without a win this season.

Young Lions are far better than the hosts and we are going to back them here.

We expect the guests to draw the first blood here for 1.95.

This game might witness more than a goal before the break for 1.79.

Good luck!
