Another Thrilling Singapore Premier League match is on the way to entertain us. The match between Hougang Vs Balestier Khalsa will kick off at 12:15 PM IST / 2:45 PM Local time.
The match will be played at Hougang Stadium on 20 October 2022. Ahead of the final, Hougang United will be hoping to finish fourth when they host the renovated Central Balestier Stadium at Hougang Stadium.
Hougang United’s hopes of finishing third a year ago were dashed this season as they lost 1-4 at home to Tampines Rovers. Harman’s red contributed to the strike and the visitors made the most of it.
After a thrilling (4-4) draw with Young Lions, Balestier Central could not maintain their momentum as they lost at home to Geylang International. The visitors beat Balestier Central four times and scored twice in the second half of the game (2-4).
The result means Balestier Central have won just once in their last 6 matches and will take a share of the spoils.
Prediction
In our opinion, Hougang United will dominate the ball and be rewarded for the opportunities they deserve.
Instead, Balestier might try to break down the Khalsa defense, but we think they will see enough balls to score. So at the full-time whistle, we expect a manageable 3-1 margin from Hougang United.
