Geylang vs Albirex Niigata tips and predictions

Albirex Niigata too short in Premier League encounter

Geylang are currently in third place as they get set to welcome fourth place Albirex Niigata. With only 1 point between them, both teams will be keen to steal a march on their rivals here.

Albirex Niigata are favourites in the betting. They should be, but they don't provide any value.

The hosts are going into the match having put 3 victories on their resume from their last 5 games.

Geylang will need to accept that their chances are likely to come against the run of play. These home players have enjoyed a run of form. They scored two or more times in 7 of their recent 8 home matches and that effort has been consolidated at the back where they have kept a clean sheet in 6 of their last 18 home games.

Away from home Albirex Niigata have conceded an average of 2.7 goals in their last 6 matches. And the home side will be looking for evidence that they don't have to expect carnage. In front of goal the visitors have sometimes been quite poor. They've been goalless in 1 of their last 3 matches.

It's not a hugely confident prediction and the hosts may feel they've exceeded expectations if they end up in stalemate. The sportsbooks have forecasted both sides to get in on the act despite the favouritism for Albirex Niigata. This preview is all about value though and with the odds-against price on BTTS No, that seems the better option on this occasion. As for the goal line, it's no more than a single goal in this match considering the price that's available there.
