Geylang International vs Home United 12/07/19

12 July 2019

Geylang International and Home United will face-off at Our Tampines Hub in similar circumstances. Both sides have had identical returns from their last five league outings (W2, D2, L1), although the visitors won the last league fixture away from home while the hosts played out a 2-2 home draw with Hougang.

Geylang’s indifferent home form in the recent period (W2, D1, L2) indicates they may have problems bringing a seven-game losing run against Home Utd to a halt. Even though they’ve been far from impressive at home lately, the Eagles have at least provided their home fans with entertainment, as all five of their last home matches featured over 2.5 goals while four of them saw both teams score. Across the same period, Mohd Noor Ali’s men have conceded over 1.5 goals per match on four occasions, while scoring 2+ match goals three times.

Meanwhile, the visitors have gone from three consecutive away defeats across all competitions to back-to-back triumphs in which they’ve scored five goals and conceded two. Still, the Protectors’ fragile defense has struggled to keep a clean sheet in six of their last seven road trips across the competitions, allowing over 1.5 goals per match on five occasions along the way. But, the traveling side can count on recent success at this venue as they’ve secured three wins on their last three visits here, beating Geylang by a comfortable two-goal margin each time.
