Prediction
In our opinion, Balestier Khalsa will probably see a lot of the ball and convert quite a few goal-scoring opportunities.
However, Hougang United will not find it easy to break down their defence but we do fancy them being dangerous at times, too.
Weโre tipping a pretty comfortable 3-1 win for Balestier Khalsa by the time that the referee blows the final whistle.
