[Preview] Balestier Khalsa vs Home United
Tonight first game of the season for both teams as last year’s 2nd runner-up Home United will make a short trip to Toa Payoh stadium to face Balestier Khalsa FC in Great Eastern-YEO’s S.LEAGUE match.
Much hype about their major signings of Frederic Mendy from last season’s champions team Etoile FC and Korean imports Kim Dae Eui from Samsung Bluewings. Many predicted that this the year for Home United to reclaim their long awaited trophy that they last won in 2003! Which was 7 years ago to be exact!
With the season still young, I wouldn’t predict straight away that Home United gonna win the S.LEAGUE trophy this year based on their pre-season signings. Shall wait till the mid season where I shall predict, on the other hand, be sure to head on down to Toa Payoh stadium to catch Home United face the Tigers of Balestier Khalsa FC!
Venue: Toa Payoh Stadium
Kickoff @1930hours
Predicted Line-ups: Lionel Lewis, Juma’at Jantan, Valery Hiek, Sharil Alias, Rosman Sulaiman, Shi Jiayi, Isa Halim, Asraf Rashid, Firdaus Idros, Kim Dae Eui, Frederic Mendy.
