Only a win will satisfy the Albirex Niigata S supporters in this Jurong East Stadium clash with Young Lions, having a healthy lead on the opposition in the S. League table.
- Albirex Niigata S have the fewest conceded goals (7) in S. League
- Young Lions have the fewest scored goals (9) in S. League
Both teams have had enough rest since their last competitive action. Let's hope for an energetic game!
One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on grass and that the visiting Young Lions have a different surface at their stadium (artifical turf). The impact of this is hard to measure exactly, but the visitors stats on grass is 6-5-26 (win-draw-loss) from 37 matches.
These teams are located so close to each other that their supporters eat in the same restaurants, hang out at the same night clubs and give birth at the same hospitals. This means added importance to the game and a vibrant atmosphere.
Albirex Niigata S form and stats
3-1-0 (win-draw-lost) are the S. League numbers at home for Albirex Niigata S, who have the fewest conceded goals (7) in S. League, so far this season. Two home wins in a row for Albirex Niigata S bring valid hopes of a third.
Before that match, a win away at Balestier Khalsa.
Opportunity lost for Albirex in the Tampines Rovers match as a lead 2-0 was lost and what looked like a victory ended in a draw.
A decent goal production from Albirex in their home games so far, with 6 goals from 4 league matches. Albirex have showed great defending skills in these home games, allowing the opposition to score only 2 goals.
Young Lions form and stats
Still no away game victory in the S. League for Young Lions, who have the fewest scored goals (9) in S. League, with 2 draws and 1 loss from their first 3 attempts.
Preceding that, the 2-4 home loss versus Geylang International.

Many goals are not expected from the visiting Young as they have only managed to score 2 times from 3 away games in the league. Young Lions can't defend away. 9 goals have been scored by the opposition in 3 matches, an average of more than three per game. You might want to look at the total goal statistics, which can be found on the Statistics tab above.
