Tampines Rovers will play their opening match of the AFC Cup group stages on Monday against PSM.

Tampines Rovers vs PSM Prediction
Tampines Rovers will go into this game as the slight favorites. They rank higher than their opponents among Asian outfits by quite a fair margin. They are also enrolled in a slightly easier group in the competition, with PSM and Kuala Lumpur being their only two rivals.
The visitors were hugely impressive in their opening game, where they managed to hold the much-fancied Kuala Lumpur outfit to a draw. They will once again have to be at their best to challenge the Singaporean giants in this outing.
Nonetheless, we expect an easy win for Tampines Rovers.
Prediction: Tampines Rovers 3-1 PSM
