Balestier Central vs Albirex Niigata Prediction: This game will produce goals and might likely end in a share of the spoils

Balestier Central will square off against Albirex Niigata on Saturday at the Bishan Stadium. The hosts have had some decent performances in recent games despite failing to win back-to-back matches. The Tigers will strive to maintain their decent home run when they host an in-form Albirex Niigata side tomorrow. 

Balestier Central (4th)

Last five games. DWWDL

The Tigers have been at the top of their game lately until their game against Lion City. For the first time in six matches, Balestier Central was totally outplayed. They were not effective enough in front of goal as Lion City scored three while they responded once. Before the game, they were undefeated in six matches, winning three and sharing the spoils three times. 

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

Peter de Roo's men have won four, lost two times, and drawn twice at home this season. 

Albirex Niigata (7th)

Last five games: WDWLW

The White Swans returned to winning ways following their (5-1) loss against Geylang International on the road. Albirex Niigata scored four times against Tanjong Pagar, and Shingo Nakano and Shuhei Hoshino scored a brace. The (4-1) victory was their fifth win on their ground this campaign. 

Albirex Niigata have now lost nine of their last fifteen matches in the league as they sit eight points above the bottom team on the log. The White Swans have lost six and drawn once over their last seven away matches.

Expert Betting

Over their previous twenty meetings, Balestier have won once while Albirex Niigata have won sixteen and three matches ending in a tie. The visitors have been at the top of their game lately, and considering their decent form against the hosts, we expect an end-to-end match here.

Balestier Central are a pretty solid side, and they play one of the best football in the division but their last win against Albirex Niigata was in 2015; we expect both teams to get a goal apiece at halftime for 2.35.

This game will produce more goals after the break for 1.80.

We expect the hosts to win or draw and the teams to score for 1.65.

Good luck!
