Game week two of the S. League season and the teams have had a few days to digest the first match. Here's the Hougang United - Geylang International preview:
It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Hougang and Geylang International.
This pitch has artifical turf, which is not Geylang International's usual surface at their own ground. When playing on artifical turf Geylang International have performed like this: Played 14 matches resulting in 10 wins, 2 draws and 2 defeats with the goal stats 24-12 (scored/conceded).
These teams are located so close to each other that their supporters eat in the same restaurants, hang out at the same night clubs and give birth at the same hospitals. This means added importance to the game and a vibrant atmosphere.
