The Singapore Cup continues on Saturday as Tanjong Pagar lock horns against Balestier Central at Bishan Stadium. This is an important tournament for both teams, even though their chances of qualifying aren't in their hands. 

Balestier Central

The Tigers picked up their second defeat of the group, conceding four against a tough Lion City side on the road. They didn’t fight at all as they were overwhelmed by the Sailors who scored four times to attain the first spot on the log. 

Balestier Central, who began their journey with a (4-5) victory over Geylang International on the road, surrendered to a (1-2) loss at home against BG Pathum United. 

Peter de Roo's men have managed a win and lost twice over their last three matches in the Singapore Cup tournament.

They are almost out of the race for the knockout phase, as they trail the table topper by six points. 

Tanjong Pagar

The Jaguars picked up their first win of the round as they defied all odds to defeat Geylang International on their ground. Despite being the second best in the game and failing to get a shot at goal, Tanjong Pagar, from the penalty spot to cart away all the points against a solid opponent. It was a shocking performance, and they must be resilient against their opponent tomorrow. 

The Jaguars occupy the fourth spot on the log, and they stand no chance of advancing to the next round. 

Tanjong's major problem has always been their defense, as they have let in more than a goal over their five of their last six games. 

Expert Betting Tips

Balestier Central have won eight while Tanjong Pagar have recorded two wins across their last ten meetings. The Tigers' most recent display wasn’t good enough, even though it was against a top opponent. They’ll host a Tanjong Pagar side who stunned Geylang International on Match Day 4, and they can’t afford to underestimate their guests tomorrow.

Balestier Central are way better than their opponents on paper, but since this is a dead rubber game, anything can happen. The hosts will be keen to bow out with pride and not lose on their ground, and that’s why I’ll entrust them with a halftime win for 1.78 at (Bet365).

I also think both teams will likely get a goal here; bet on home win and BTTS for 2.10 at (1xbet).

I expect to see more than a goal before the break from the hosts for 2.20 at (Betway).

Good luck!
