After five games we know a little more about the qualities of Home United and Hougang United in this fresh S. League season. Read our match preview!
There’s little time for restitution or working hard at the training pitch these days, with both teams having played their last game less than four days ago.
One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on grass and that the visiting Hougang United 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 13-7-11 (win-draw-loss) from 31 matches.
This is a local derby, usually meaning added tension and importance.
Home United form and stats
Perfect S. League season at home so far for Home United, who have the the best goal difference (+9) at home in S. League, 2 wins from 2 appearances.
Home United's previous game was a S. League match also played at home, ending 5-0 versus Young Lions (placed 9th). The home side are looking to build on that result. A defeat was the result before that one, 2-3 away at Albirex Niigata S.
As mentioned above, Home "killed" Young Lions in their previous game. They need to reset completely for this one and beware of complacency.
There will be little rest for Home after this match as they are travelling to Balestier Khalsa for a S. League game in only three days.
It's still early days, but we have some goal stats for the Home United at home in the league. 9 on target and 0 scored by the opposition; from 2 matches.

Hougang United has another fixture away, a S. League game, against Albirex Niigata S in just four days. A tough schedule for the visitors!
