Young Lions form and stats
The story so far in the S. League for Young Lions, who have the most conceded goals (24) in S. League, at their home stadium (Jurong West Stadium) is 1 win, 0 draws and 3 defeats. Young has three losses from their three previous games and the tension is increasing in the dressing room for both the manager N. Nasir and the players.
Young are hoping to put things right at home after a defeat in their previous match, the score 1-4 away versus Hougang United. Heartbreak before that as Young lost 0-1 at Tampines Rovers's place.
The manager N. Nasir will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Balestier Khalsa in only four days.
Young have scored 3 league goals here from 4 matches, not a lot. Neutralizing the opposition is a challenge, Young Lions having conceded 11 goals here at Jurong West Stadium so far.
Tampines Rovers form and stats
Still no away game victory in the S. League for Tampines Rovers, who have the most clean sheets (5) in S. League, with 2 draws and 1 loss from their first 3 attempts. Tampines Rovers has drawn their two previous away games.
It's another away game for the visitors, as they travelled to Balestier Khalsa (placed 4th) in their previous outing. The S. League match ended in a draw 2-2. Before that, Tampines Rovers travelled to Geylang International and returned home with a draw after the game finished 1-1.
Drawing 2-2 against Balestier Khalsa after 90 minutes last time out was very disappointing after leading the match 2-0. Their manager G. Lee needs to evaluate why the team couldn't defend their result.
After this away game Tampines return home for a S. League game against DPMM FC. That game is only four sleeps after this.
Scoring goals is the main ingredient in creating success in football, and not only at home. So far Tampines have scored 3 goals in 3 league games away. Defensive performances away have varied in quality as Tampines have conceded 5 goals on the road. For more goal statistics, check out the Statistics tab above.
