Geylang International vs Balestier Central Prediction: The hosts will get off to a flying start

Geylang International will square off against Balestier Central at the Jalan Besar Stadium on Sunday. The hosts are one of the two teams yet to lose a game this season, and they’ll be determined to maintain their run here. At the same time, the guests will fight for back-to-back victories against their opponent here.

The Eagles maintained their unbeaten record against arguably the best team in the division. Geylang International are not giving up on their dream of challenging for the title this season as they settle for a share of the spoils against Tampines Rovers on the road. They became the only team to have splitter points against their opponent at home this season. The (2-2) stalemate was one of their decent displays of the campaign. Geylang International have been pretty solid this season, sharing the spoils five times and winning four games. 

They have now scored thirty-six goals over their last nine games while conceding (18) times since the start of the season. 

Noor Ali's men have won twice and drawn two of their last four home games.

The Tigers returned to winning ways after their back-to-back losses as they defeated Tanjong Pagar. Balestier Central who were at the top of their game, won in both halves to secure the maximum points. The victory was after their (7-2) defeat against Albirex Niigata away from home. 

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 managed just one win over their last three games on the road. 

Over their previous twenty meetings, Geylang International have won eleven while Balestier Central have recorded seven victories and two games ending in a deadlock. The hosts have been very resilient in their approach this season. The Eagles are one of the two teams yet to taste defeat in the league, and after settling for a (2-2) stalemate on the road against Tampines, we expect a solid performance from them here.

Even though the hosts are the favorite, we expect the guests to put up a good fight here.

This game will likely produce more than a goal before the break for 1.60.

We expect the hosts to get a halftime victory for 2.00.

Good luck!
