Tampines Rovers will host Tanjong Pagar at the Tampines Stadium in the Singaporean Premier League on Wednesday.
The hosts come into the game on the back of a 3-2 away victory over Geylang on Saturday. Boris Kopitovic scored a brace to inspire his team to a comeback victory, while their hosts were reduced to 10 men.
Tanjong Pagar also claimed all three points in a five-goal thriller away from home. Three different men got on the scoresheet to help their side twice come from behind before taking the lead in the 67th minute.
The victories left the two sides in fourth and first place respectively. Wednesday's visitors currently lead the way, having garnered 11 points from five matches, while Tampines have seven points to show for their efforts in four matches.

Tampines Rovers vs Tanjong Pagar Prediction
Tanjong Pagar's bright start to the campaign means they will fancy their chances of getting something against Tampines Rovers.
However, the Stags have home advantage in their favor and are also favorites to emerge triumphant. Both sides are attack-minded and are likely to get on the scoresheet but we are backing the hosts to emerge triumphant in a high-scoring game.
Prediction: Tampines Rovers 3-2 Tanjong Pagar
