Real-time Football scores and highlights.
Balestier
Balestier, who finished fourth in the previous season, has made a strong start to the current campaign. They’ve amassed 4 points from their first two matches, with an impressive 5-0 victory over Tanjong and a 2-2 draw against Geylang. This is a significant improvement compared to the end of the last season, where they only managed to secure three points in their final five matches.
During the summer transfer window, Balestier bolstered their squad with the addition of 11 new players, aiming to finish in the top 3. Their performances early in the season have certainly reflected their ambitions.
Tampines
Tampines, who finished third in the previous Premier League season, has started the new season on a similar note to Balestier, securing a draw and a win in their opening two matches. However, these results have been somewhat unexpected. They began with a confident 3-1 victory over reigning champions Albirex Niigata but followed it up with a surprising 4-4 draw against Geylang, considered one of the league’s underdogs.
With minimal changes to their squad from the previous season, Tampines is expected to once again contend for medals this season.
