The home fans are expecting three points in this fixture, as the home advantage should be put to good use versus a struggling visitor. Hougang United are in the 6th position while the guesting Young Lions worry at 9th.
There haven't been much time to rest for the hosts, as they played a S. League match only four days ago. That game was an away game at Albirex Niigata S, so at least Hougang are thankful to return home in this one. Game on!
There's local pride at stake here, as these teams are practically neighbours. Expect lots of passion from both players and supporters.
Hougang United form and stats
Hougang United's first S. League home game here at Hougang Stadium ended in defeat. Last season their home statistics were 8 wins, 1 draw and 3 defeats from 12 matches.
1-1 away at Home United before that.
As you see from the result above, Hougang suffered greatly in their last game. Thankfully the team has a new chance to prove themselves in this one.
At Hougang Stadium, Hougang United has the goal stats of 1-2 (for/against) from 1 league fixture.
Young Lions form and stats
It's not happening yet for Young Lions on their S. League travels, with zero points from their first 3 away games. Maybe today will be different? Three consecutive losses in away matches means Young Lions are growing more and more desperate for a good performance on the road.
The attacking players of Young have been feeble for some time now, the team not scoring a league goal in the last 201 minutes.
Young Lions lost away at Tampines Rovers (0-1) in their previous game and are perhaps starting to feel homesick. A 0-5 defeat away at Home United before that.
There's been a serious shortage of goals from Young's away games in the league this season with only 0 goals from 3 matches. The Young defense is as useful as an ashtray on a motorcycle, having conceded 9 goals in their away games.
Head 2 Head
This is not the first time this season these parties meet, as the history books show this recent fixture: Young Lions - Hougang 1-4. Last ten meetings between the teams: Hougang United won five, Young Lions won five and zero draws. six games with over 2,5 goals, four matches with two goals or less.Top Goalscorers
