Runaway leaders Lion City Sailors will take on the bottom-ranked Young Lions in Singapore Premier League action on Wednesday.
The hosts are three points clear at the top and will look to bounce back immediately following their 2-1 defeat to second-placed Albirex last weekend. The defeat snapped their five-match winning run in the division.
The visitors will face an uphill task as they take on Lion City. The Young Lions have won just once in 10 outings so far in the division, with that win coming five games ago.
