HOME UNITED vs YOUNG LIONS (S-LEAGUE)

<1.19> <5.35> <9.80>

both sides will go into this match full of confidence. home united, because of their excellent football, which has brought them wins over an improving albirex, geylang, and of course, the super reds. young lions, will also be confident, having not let in goals for a long time, despite playing some of the worst and most boring football we have seen in years. as such, the 1.19 on offer by no means a sure banker, as the young lions are one of those sides that will do anything (ie punt long balls, elbow opponents, chase you to the corner flag, shoot your parents, set fire to your house, etc) to get a point. as such, please don't pour your life savings on home united, who will be missing shahril ishak and peres de oliveira, their two main creative hubs. i still think home united will win, but with odds of 1.19, please don't bother. instead, ill go for HT-FT.

- Eddy's prediction: $5 on home to lead at HT @ 1.70 = $8.50
$5 on D-H @ 4.30 = $21.50

YOUNG LIONS vs GEYLANG UNITED (S-LEAGUE)

<3.70> <2.80> <2.00>

interestingly, odds for a geylang win have been rising since yesterday. i think this can be put down to their performances over bangkok university in the RHB Singapore Cup, with punters thinking they are world-beaters now. truth is they are not. they are shit-kickers to the extreme. they have THREE good players, isa halim, hariss harun and ismail yunos. of the 3, hariss harun is out for the rest of the season, so i expect young lions to really struggle. for geylang, they will welcome back aide iskander and baihakki khaizan, tightening up the backline. in fact, miroslav latiak's injury might be a blessing in disguise, as fazrul nawaz can be unleashed on daniel hammond, who is the white titus bramble of the s-league. i'm going big with geylang, even though i endured a torrid time with the young lions last week.

- Eddy's predictions: $10 on geylang @ 2.00 = $20.00
$5 on geylang to score 1st goal @ 1.92 = $9.60
$5 on geylang to lead at half time @ 2.80 = $14.00

DALIAN SHIDE vs TAMPINES ROVERS (S-LEAGUE)

<9.20> <4.20> <1.28>

after a terrible week last time out, i've got to be more cautious this week. tampines looks like a sure banker for the victory here, as dalian shide is shite. even qiu li's absence is unlikely to prevent dalian from getting points here, considering the speed and guile of aliff shaffaein and sutee suksomkit. mustafic fahrudin is likely to have a field day stamping his authority in the midfield exchanges. but, as i said, i'm gonna be more cautious this week, so i'm just going for the simple win.

- Eddy's predictions: $10 on tampines @ 1.28 = $12.80

YOKOHAMA F MARINOS vs ALBIREX NIIGATA (J-LEAGUE)

<1.80> <3.25> <3.75>

yokohama are in bad form. they've lost their last 3, and are languishing in the bottom half of the table. regular readers of this site will probably have guessed my prediction by now. yes, yokohama to break their bad run and get all 3 pts.

- Eddy's prediction: $5 on yokohama @ 1.80 = $9.00
