3rd position in the S. League table for Hougang United so far, a good performance. The home supporters hope for more joy as 5th-placed Balestier Khalsa visits Jalan Besar Stadium.

There should be plenty of energy on the pitch in this game, as both sides have had time to recuperate from their last game. Let's hope both teams are ready to give it all.

One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on artificial turf and that the visiting Balestier Khalsa have a different surface at their stadium (grass). The impact of this is hard to measure exactly, but the visitors stats on artificial turf is 3-3-6 (win-draw-loss) from twelve matches. There's local pride at stake here, as these teams are practically neighbours. Expect lots of passion from both players and supporters.
