Hougang United vs Tanjong Pagar: match statistics
The match between Hougang United and Tanjong Pagar is shaping up to be a clash between two teams in a form crisis. The hosts have a disastrous record at home – zero wins in four home matches (0% Win%), conceding an average of 3.25 goals per match, and have not kept a clean sheet even once. Tanjong Pagar performs equally poorly away with 83% losses and a zero winning percentage, although they have slightly better offensive efficiency (11% Shot Conversion Rate vs 6% for the hosts). Both teams have an identical goal difference of -11 in their respective conditions, and the last five matches yielded just 1.2 points per match for the hosts and 0.2 for the visitors. The xG statistics show a slight advantage for Tanjong Pagar in attack (1.1 vs 1.08), suggesting a balanced competition. Given the dismal form of both teams, their similar statistics, and high Failed To Score rates, a draw or a slight advantage for the hosts resulting solely from playing at home seems most probable.
