An important duel in the bottom section of the league table, with both teams experiencing more worry than joy. This match is a classic “six-pointer” with the home team placed 7th and the visitors in 9th place.
It's no vacation for neither Warriors nor Balestier Khalsa as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.
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 4-4-6 (win-draw-loss) from 14 matches. This is a local derby, usually meaning added tension and importance.
