Geylang had the lead 3-0 against Balestier last round, also a man plus and conceded 4 goals from 10 men Balestier to only drew 4-4 in the end. That is just how weak they can be in defense, 22 goals conceded so far while they have the best scoring record in the league with 40 goals scored, and striker Doi is really a goal scoring machine, but he is not the only one.
Hougang lost half of the games played and have just one win this season. They lost last round 7-1 away at Lion City. They hosted Geylang, went behind 3-0, made some attacking changes and found it really easy to score two goals in quick time, but conceded 3 late goals and lost with no less than 6-2 in the end.
So 8 goals scored total in that one, against teams like Tampines or Lion City, top teams in Singapore, Geylang were unsure and played low scoring draws mainly, but they are big favorites in this one, and always likely to score many goals, likely to concede as well and Hougang does have quality foreign strikers and wingers, so I back over 4.5 goals, as at most bookies they are barely 1.70.
