Lion City Sailors - Albirex Niigata

Singapore. This season, there was a big derby between two top favorites, but it has changed significantly as Albirex weakened, sold several leaders and didn't acquire anything decent, except for some good attackers from other teams. Meanwhile, Sailors are now the main favorites to win the title. They started the season convincingly, but after a one-month-long national team break, they wasted about a dozen of unreal chances in the last round against Brunei. It can only be attributed to the break, as otherwise such inefficiency is impossible even at this level. Today I hope to see a much better performance, as their attack is top-notch with experienced players from good European leagues, and of course, the added motivation of being able to defeat their biggest competitors who are currently struggling. If everything goes according to plan, Sailors will do the majority, if not all, of the work here. However, their defense is not as strong as their attack, so Albirex will have a chance. Maybe they won't get any points, but they are capable of scoring.
