Only a few games have been played in the S. League so far, with Young Lions placed 9th and Tanjong Pagar sitting in the 8th position.
Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.
5 - 1 - 4 with 22-20. What does this mean? Well, these are the statistics for Tanjong Pagar when playing on artifical turf like they will do today. Wins - draws- losses and goals scored-conceded. Tanjong Pagar play their home games on grass so that's why we provide these numbers.
This is a local derby, usually meaning added tension and importance.
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 0 points from these matches could be a signal of rough times ahead. It's trouble wherever Young are playing these days as they have suffered four straight defeats now, regardless of arena. They really need to get back to winning ways. Game days at Jurong West Stadium have recently become somewhat of a nightmare for Young as they have lost three home games in a row. It hurts.
Stress levels are on the rise for Young's attacking players as they have now played 303 minutes without scoring in a league game. I. Fandi was their last goal scorer.
The Young Lions fans got no joy from their last match, a S. League game also here at Jurong West Stadium: A 0-4 defeat against Albirex Niigata S (placed 1st). Preceding that match was a defeat to Balestier Khalsa (0-2).
Young were outplayed and humiliated in their previous game, as mentioned in the paragraph above. They will need to reinstall their confidence before this one.
Young has huge difficulties finding the net and are scoring on average only once per two home matches in the league: 1 goal from 3 games. This has been a stadium of sighs so far as Young have let the opposition score 10 times, an average of more than three per game.
Tanjong Pagar form and stats
As the visiting team in S. League matches, Tanjong Pagar have produced an overall stat of 0-0-1 so far. With two straight losses from their last two away games, Tanjong are hoping that it's time for some travel points again.
Tanjong failed to get anything from their last game, a S. League home match vs Balestier Khalsa (placed 2nd) that ended with defeat 0-1. A draw for Tanjong before that, at their own venue hosting Albirex Niigata S (2-2).
As for goals scored and conceded in the league games away so far, Tanjong Pagar has managed 0 goals and let in 2 from 1 match.
