Tanjong Pagar form and stats
It's not happening yet for Tanjong Pagar on their S. League travels, with zero points from their first 3 away games. Maybe today will be different? It's all red in the travel logs of Tanjong, having lost four matches in a row as the visiting team.
It might be tough going out on the road again for Tanjong, facing their second straight away game. Especially as the previous game, ended with a defeat 1-6 versus Home United (placed 3rd). A 0-1 loss hosting Geylang International before that.
Tanjong Pagar lost the plot completely in their previous game, as mentioned above. They need to recover quickly from that 1-6 beating and focus on this one.
Many goals are not expected from the visiting Tanjong Pagar as they have only managed to score 2 times from 3 away games in the league.
