Balestier Central vs Tampines Rovers Prediction: The guests stand a better chance of amassing the maximum points

On Sunday, Balestier Central will square off against Tampines Rovers at the Bishan Stadium. The guests have been the most consistent team this season, and they are the favorite to secure the maximum points against a solid opponent.

The Tigers have retrogressed lately; however, they head here with a decent performance against Geylang International on the road. Balestier found themselves trailing by three goals, which became even worse when they were reduced to ten men. They fought back on the road to settle for a (4-4) share of the spoils. It was one of the best end-to-end games this season, and we expect them to have drawn some motivation from the fixture. 

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

Peter de Roo's men have won three, lost two times, and drawn a game at home this season.

The Stags' fantastic start to the season continues as they defeated Tanjong Pagar on the road. They scored three times against the hosts to secure their ninth victory of the season. Tampines Rovers have kept five clean sheets this season and remain the joint-best defensive team this season. 

Tampines have had a pretty solid start to the season, heading here without a defeat over their last eleven matches. The Stags are a point above Lion City at the top of the table, and we can see them challenge for the SPL this season.

Tampines Rovers have won five and drawn a game on the road this season. 

Over their previous twenty meetings, Balestier have won twice while Tampines Rovers have won twelve and six matches ending in a tie. The guests are heads and shoulders above the other teams in the league this season, courtesy of their fantastic recruitment. The Stags will be keen to extend their lead at the top, and we expect them to get the better of Balestier Central, who have had a terrible head-to-head. The hosts are capable of finding the back of the net, the same as the guests, so we expect to see more than a goal before the break for 1.71.

We also think the hosts might get a goal before the break, which will likely lead to a halftime BTTS for 2.45.

We think the guests will get a halftime victory here for 1.82.

Good luck!
