Young Lions will face off against Albirex Niigata on Friday at the Jalan Besar Stadium. The guests have been below par since the competition began, losing three consecutive games. They’ll be tested against Young Lions, who can be dangerous on their ground. Both teams will play for pride here as they are far below the top of the log. 

Young Lions

The hosts suffered another defeat in this round, making it two losses in three games. Young Lions were overwhelmed by Tampines Rovers, who scored four and conceded once.

Levada kicked off their campaign with a (0-2) loss on their ground against Brunei DPMM; however, they bounced back with an emphatic (0-3) victory over Hougang United before their most recent loss on the road. A lot has changed about the side that finished at the bottom of the standings last season. Young Lions have not been bad lately, picking up five points from a combined twelve. 

Young Lions sit in fourth place on the log, four points away from the top of the league. 

Albirex Niigata

The Stags continue to struggle under coach Keiji Shigetomi, heading here with three consecutive losses in this competition. Albirex Niigata were beaten hands down by a struggling Brunei DPMM as their dream of playing in the Singapore Cup quarterfinals was shattered. They conceded three and found the back of the net once away from home. 

Albirex have picked up zero points from a possible nine. The White Swans have lost three consecutive matches, scoring four and conceding six. 

Expert Betting Tips

Over their previous ten meetings, Albirex Niigata has won nine, while Young Lions has recorded a win. Young Lions are out of the race to finish in the top two on the log, the same as Albirex Niigata. Both teams will play for pride, and we are not sure they’ll risk their key players in this dead rubber match. 

The guests have dominated this fixture over the years, and despite their struggle, they are heads and shoulders above the hosts. I think the guests will likely win or draw and get a BTTS for 1.65 at (Bet365).

Young Lions, who have been pretty decent lately, will probably get a goal before the break for 1.89 at (1xbet). 

I expect to see more goals after the break for 1.91 at (Betway).

Good luck!
