Young Lions vs Balestier Central Prediction: We expect a great start from the visitors

Young Lions will face off against Balestier Central at the Jalan Besar Stadium on Saturday. The guests have been formidable this season compared to their previous campaigns, heading here with four games without a defeat. At the same time, Young Lions will be poised to get a back-to-back victory following their win over Tanjong Pagar.

Young Lions (7th)

Last five games: LWLLW

Following their two consecutive defeats against Geylang and Albirex Niigata, Young Lions took advantage of the struggling Tanjong Pagar to secure the maximum points. The (1-3) win on the road was their fourth of the season. In the previous campaign, Young Lions won just a game in the entire season.

They have conceded thirty-six times in just thirteen matches as they sit in 7th place on the log. Young Lions, who finished at the bottom of the log for three consecutive seasons, have had a great start to this campaign, and we expect them to put up a great fight here. Young Lions have won twice and lost four on their ground this season. 

Balestier Central (4th)

Last five games. LWDDW

The Tigers have been at the top of their game lately, heading here with four unbeaten runs. Balestier Central amassed all the points against a solid Hougang United on their ground. They have now won five matches since the start of the season. 

Balestier Central have scored more than a goal in all 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 once, lost two games, and drawn twice on the road this season. 

Expert Betting Tips

Over their previous twenty meetings, Balestier Central have won twelve games while Young Lions have managed five wins and three games ending in a tie. The hosts have been a better team this season; however, all their victories have come against teams below them or struggling sides. Young Lions stand no chance against the guests, and we think the visitors will get a halftime victory here for 1.90.

Balestier Central will definitely secure the maximum points here, but they’ll eventually concede a goal at least.

We expect to see more than four goals here for 1.87.

Good luck!
