Lion City

Lion City, who finished second last season, has had an impressive start to the new campaign. Lion City has won all three of their opening matches and currently sits in second place. However, the league leaders Tampines Rovers have already dropped points, so in terms of points potentially lost, the “Lions” are effectively in first place.

In the previous round, Lion City secured a 2-0 away victory over DPMM, following wins against Young Lions (3:1) and Hougang United (4:1).

Albirex Niigata

The Singaporean branch of the Japanese club Albirex Niigata, who won the Premier League last season, is struggling this season as expected. The team’s roster has significantly changed, and their funding has been reduced. As a result, Albirex Niigata currently sits in sixth place with only 3 points.

In the previous round, Albirex Niigata unexpectedly lost to one of the league's main underdogs, Young Lions, with a score of 2-3, conceding two decisive goals in the 79th and 86th minutes. Before that, they suffered a heavy 1-4 defeat to DPMM. Their only victory of the season came in the second round against Hougang United (1-0).

Interesting facts about the match and head-to-head history

• Last season, Albirex Niigata defeated Lion City twice at home but lost 2-3 away.
• In 74 encounters between these teams, Albirex Niigata holds the advantage with 35 wins compared to Lion City's 24.
