The S. League league table might not tell the truth so early on, but it's the best truth we have so far. These two teams are placed 5th and 8th respectively.
Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.
This stadium uses grass, unlike Young Lions's home stadium. The visitors last 36 games on grass have ended in 5 wins, 4 draws and 27 losses. This is a local derby, usually meaning added tension and importance.
