Competition: Singapore S. League
Date: Sun 15.September
Match begins: 09:30 (UTC)
Venue: Jurong East Stadium (2700 seats)

The home fans are expecting three points in this fixture, as the home advantage should be put to good use versus a struggling visitor. Albirex Niigata S are in the 4th position while the guests worry at 8th.

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 (artificial turf). The impact of this is hard to measure exactly, but the visitors stats on grass is 4-4-28 (win-draw-loss) from 36 matches. There's local pride at stake here, as these teams are practically neighbours. Expect lots of passion from both players and supporters.

Young Lions form and stats

The visitors, who have the fewest scored goals (16) in S. League, are W3-D1-L5 on the road this term. That's in the S. League.

Young Lions failed to get anything from their last game, a home match vs Geylang International (placed 5th) that ended with defeat 1-2. A loss against Hougang United was the result prior to that, in a home game.

The schedule is very tough for Young Lions now as they have to travel again shortly after this match. A S. League game at Home United is waiting in only three days.

The attacking power of Young Lions when travelling is not overwhelming with 6 goals scored from 9 league matches away. As opposed to that, Young Lions have seen the ball go into their own net 13 times on the road.
