Tanjong Pagar United at 6.35 to win feels tight given their Jekyll-and-Hyde act in the Premier League this term. Their xG (expected goals) suggest they’re overperforming — stats nerds would fade them.
Hougang United’s 3.9 line smells value, especially if their center forward (CF) shakes off his cold streak.
