Match Preview :
Match of the week no doubt as Albirex Niigata will take on a Tampines Rovers. This will be one match which could also decided who remain top of the S League.
Albirex who started the season in good form, have now failed to win in three games. Albirex drew their last two matches and most surprising was the 2-2 draw with Geylang United which many had expected them to win.
Nagasaki will be the key player for them in this match. His contribution is vital in supplying Bruno Casteinheira and Kazuki Sakamoto with the crosses. His pace and style of play makes it confusing for the opposition to take on him.
Tampines meanwhile comes into this match unbeaten in their last five games but they drew their last match against DPMM Brunei 1-1 at home. Tampines have speedy wingers in the form of Imran Sahib and Ismadi Mukhtar and that will be good for them as they are so strong in the middle of the field.
However, Tampines Rovers will be missing one half of their Japanese centre-back pairing as Kunihiro Yamashita is out with a shoulder injury.
Interestingly these teams have met five times. There has never been a draw in any of those games. The last match was won by Albirex in a high scoring 4-3 draw.
Prior to that Tampines managed the double when they won 2-0 and 2-1 but both games were in the Singapore Cup. The other two clashes in the S League saw Albirex winning 1-0 in 2012 when they played host and losing the other 3-1 in 2011.
