Young Lions form and stats

Young Lions's results here at Jalan Besar Stadium in the S. League have been very modest with 1 victory, 1 draw and 7 defeats.

Happy days for Young Lions in their previous game, a S. League match away at Geylang International (placed 6th) that ended with a 3-2 victory. Some amazing scenes last match, when Ilhan Fandi scored the winning goal four minutes into stoppage time.

Preceding that match was the home game against Albirex Niigata S that was lost 0-1.

The Young Lions fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 10 in 9 matches. Defensively there's plenty of potential for improvement as Young Lions have allowed the opposition to score 25 goals here at Jalan Besar Stadium.
