Home United form and stats

The visitors are W8-D2-L4 on the road this term. That's in the S. League.

Two away games in a row for Home, whose coach Lalić could celebrate last time after the win against Tanjong Pagar. That win felt nice as this side had gone four league fixtures without victory.

The game before that, was lost at home, a 2-4 defeat against Albirex Niigata S.

Take note! Both sides have scored in 11 of this club's latest 13 league fixtures.

The prediction for this game is lots of goals as Home United alone have scored more than three on average in their league games away (51 from 14 played). Home United have conceded 24 goals in these games.

Head 2 Head

Home United have been victorious in all of the 8 latest duels versus this side. Can they do it again?

Surprisingly enough, the last time Home kept a "clean sheet" was also facing this opponent, seven league matches ago (Home United - Tanjong Pagar 7-0). Lopes loves to play against Tanjong Pagar and have scored 7 goals in these games.
