Brunei DPMM vs Albirex Niigata Prediction: We anticipate a strong performance from the hosts

Having played eight games without a breakthrough, Brunei DPMM will face off against Albirex Niigata Lions at the Hassanal Bolkiah National Stadium with the aim of amassing the maximum points. Both teams have been poor lately, but the guests have been a bit more consistent, and we anticipate another close contest here.  

Last five matches: LLDLL

James McAllister's men have now gone eight games without a win and are now a point above the bottom of the log. They were totally outplayed by Lion City, conceding three times away from home. The result didn’t tell their performance, as they conceded twenty-five shots on the road. Before then, they lost woefully to an average Young Lions team. 

They have now let in twenty-four goals in just ten starts to the season. Brunei DPMM have lost twice and drawn two games at home this season. 

Last five games: LWLLW

The White Swans returned to winning ways as they defeated Young Lions on their ground. Shingo Nakano scored a brace to hand his team their first win in three games. 

Albirex Niigata have now lost eight of their last eleven matches in the league as they sit in seventh place on the log. Albirex Niigata conceded the highest goals in the league and scored the third-lowest goals. 

Albirex Niigata have lost to teams they usually dominate and score more than two or three, which leaves us with the belief that they might finish at the bottom of the log this season. 

The White Swans have lost all their games away from home this season. 

Over their previous twenty meetings, Brunei DPMM have picked up four victories and four games ending in a share of the spoils, while Albirex Niigata have recorded twelve victories.

Both teams have been below par this season, and we expect an evenly contested game here. Brunei DPMM's defence have been terrible this campaign, the same as the guests. We are backing the hosts to win or draw and BTTS since both sides' defense has been breached so many times this season.

We think this game will produce less than a goal before the break for 1.85.

Brunei DPMM will win after the break for 2.70

Good luck!
