There should be a significant difference in quality between these teams based on table positions so far, with DPMM FC leading Warriors by 22 points.
DPMM FC have less rest than Warriors in this fixture, as the hosts were involved in a S. League game only four days ago. Thankfully the previous game, versus Albirex Niigata S, was also a home game here at Stadium Sultan Hassanal Bolkiah. The away team is better rested.
This pitch has grass, which is not Warriors's usual surface at their own ground. When playing on grass Warriors have performed like this: Played 36 matches resulting in 8 wins, 11 draws and 17 defeats with the goal stats 58-81 (scored/conceded).
DPMM FC form and stats
DPMM FC, who have the fewest conceded goals (20) in S. League, have been very solid at home in the S. League so far, with 25 points collected from 9 matches (8-1-0). This has contributed greatly to their 1st position in the table. DPMM FC has won so many consecutive home games (five in a row) that they struggle to remember the last time points were lost here at Stadium Sultan Hassanal Bolkiah. We remember; it was Young Lions.
The DPMM FC supporters enjoyed the previous match, watching their team host Albirex Niigata S in S. League and win 2-0. A strong away win before that one, visiting Balestier Khalsa and winning 4-1.
Another home game is coming up fairly shortly for the hosts, as Tampines Rovers are coming to town in four days.
With an average of more than two goals per home game in the league (21 in 9 games), DPMM FC's attacking play is working. From these home matches, DPMM FC have conceded only 6 goals.
Warriors form and stats
The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Warriors, who have the fewest points (7) away in S. League, so far with only 7 S. League points returning home. The records show 2-1-6 (win-draw-lose).
Warriors won their last game, 2-1 versus Albirex Niigata S played at home. A loss against Home United was the result prior to that, in a home game.
There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Warriors manager R. Onn as the team has another away game coming up in only four days, this time against Geylang International.
The travelling fans enjoy Warriors's attacking play in away games, having scored 15 goals in 9 league matches away. Warriors are struggling defensively in their away games, having conceded 15 goals in these matches.
