[Preview]-Albirex Niigata vs Home United

Just after three days of match encounter with Gombak United FC which ended 1-1 at Clementi stadium. Looking into this fixture against Albirex Niigata(S) this coming thursday at Jurong East stadium where our Protectors preivously lost 0-1 to Albirex Niigata back in early march..

With two days of rest for our Protectors to recover, it seems like an uphill task for the Protectors to play hard with ramadan period going on now. But nonetheless, our Protectors will give their best to push themselves to fourth spot of the league standings.

With Rosman Sulaiman back from one match suspension, the defence at the back will be tighten, likewise in the treatment room there will be without the services of S.Subramani, Ismail Yunos, Lionel Lewis other then that we have a full squad to choose from.

Do make yourself free on that day and make a trip to Jurong East stadium to support our Protectors in action against Albirex Niigata(S)

Kick-off 1945hrs.

[Preview]-Home United vs Singapore Armed Forces

Billed as the clash of the ''Uniform Groups'' , this fixture has over the years been one to look out in each football calender. Both teams have dominated the S-League since it's inception, with Singapore Armed Forces clinching the league championship for the last three seasons.

This season, SAFFC has once again charged ahead the rest and looks odd on the retaining the championship this year. Currently on 55points, with latest 5-0 thrashing over wooden spoonist Young Lions, SAFFC comes into this match on a rich vein of form. Veteran National forward Aleskander Duric will once again lead the front and will look to add more goals to his personal tally.

Home United, has struggled for most part of the season. Failing to mount a consistent run of victories has seen our Protectors lying on fifth spot in the table with 37points. A massive 18points differential and the best we can hope for is a second or third place finish. Home United is also in good form recently from the ''Big clash''. Both Kengne Ludovick and Peres De Oliveira hit hat-tricks in past matches and they will look to halt Singapore Armed Forces's charging run to the title.

Sparks are bound to fly around stadium, can our Protectors blaze the charging ''Rhinos''? Come on down to Jalan Besar stadium this friday to support our Protectors! An electric atmosphere awaits!

Kick-off 1930hrs. (Free-Entry!)

[Updated]- Brunei DPMM vs Home United

Updated:

After being billed as the match of the season, Both SAF and Home walk away with 3points with SAF 8points clear of their title rivals Tampines Rovers after their 2-1 win at Tampines stadium which was full house. While on the other hand.. Home United beat their rivals Brunei DPMM by 6-1. A scoreline that was unexpected..but theres inside story to follow up too. K Kalimutu, referee for DPMM-Home match, had given 3 red cards to 3 brunei's players (PG Sallenuddin Damit, Yusof Salleh and Rene Komar).

It all started when Sallenuddin was given an Yellow card for making contact with one of the Home's player which he didnt touched them. Which resulted an protest from the brunei's players. The match was stopped for 20-30mins before it was started again. Before the match get going.. K Kalimutu flashed straight red cards to Sallenuddin, Yusof Salleh and Rene Komar for protesting earlier on. Which reduce them to 8men, clearly home is one 3men advantage and move on scoring goals till full-time. This is an poor handling of match by K Kalimutu but i salute DPMM for playing the game throughout till full-time although they were down to 8men. bravos DPMM! Boo(s) to K Kalimutu!! and Gratz to Home for winning this match though..



After Home United last defeat against Super Reds at Fortress Clementi on 29July, Hopes of getting the SLEAGUE Crown this season may be well over. But put this things aside first as Home United will travel to Brunei this sunday for SLEAGUE match clash against Brunei DPMM at B.S.Begawan stadium. Having known that DPMM had not lost a single matches at their so called 'Fortress Begawan'.
