Away from home, Tanjong Pagar lost their only match so far, failed to score and averaged just 0.48 xG, with 2 shots per game. Balestier also began the season with a 0:2 defeat, but their recent attacking output of 2.6 goals per game across five appearances gives the hosts a significant advantage.

Balestier Khalsa are significantly more dangerous in attack, recording 2.6 goals and an xG of 1.75 across their last five fixtures, but such an advantage can also lead to a one-sided result. Both teams scored in only 40% of their last five matches, while the league average for this market is just 25%. Although Tanjong Pagar have recently conceded 2.8 goals per match, the key risk for the BTTS - Yes option is their very low ability to score even a single goal.
