It's still early in the S. League season, but we are learning more and more about the teams. Here is the Young Lions - Tanjong Pagar preview!
- Young Lions have the fewest scored goals in the first half (1) in S. League
- Tanjong Pagar is in the worst form (0-1-4)
There’s little time for restitution or working hard at the training pitch these days, with both teams having played their last game less than four days ago.
5-3-3 (wins/draws/losses). These are the numbers for Tanjong Pagar when playing away games on artifical turf, which is not the surface they have on their own home stadium (which has grass). Their goal statistics from those eleven matches are 24-18 (scored/conceded).
These teams are so close in distance that this match is special, a derby with local pride the main prize.
Young Lions form and stats
Young Lions have played three S. League home games so far, perhaps enough to set expectations for the season. In that case, only 1 point from these matches could be a signal of rough times ahead. Two defeats in a row at home hurts for Young Lions, their manager A. Philippe and the supporters. There are certain expectations for improvement.
As you see from the result above, Young suffered greatly in their last game. Thankfully the team has a new chance to prove themselves in this one.
Young has scored 4 league goals at home this season, in 3 matches. Neutralizing the opposition is a challenge, Young having conceded 9 goals here at Jalan Besar Stadium so far. Young have allowed more than three conceded goals on average in their home matches so far.
Tanjong Pagar form and stats
No S. League points yet away for Tanjong Pagar, from their first 3 matches. The pressure to perform on the road is increasing on H. Jailani, the Tanjong manager, as the last three away games were defeats.
A crazy, crazy match with lots of goals last time out for Tanjong, as mentioned above. 6 goals in that one, will this match be as much fun?
Many goals are not expected from the visiting Tanjong Pagar as they have only managed to score 2 times from 3 away games in the league. Tanjong can't defend away. 9 goals have been scored by the opposition in 3 matches, an average of more than three per game. You might want to look at the total goal statistics, which can be found on the Statistics tab above.
Head 2 Head
