For the first time this season, after finishing five games, the Tampines Rovers dropped points. This was after their 4-2 loss to Hougang United.
The team is looking to return to their winning formula as they invited Balestier Khalsa on Sunday.
Once again, Tampines will be depending on Miljan Mrdakovic for the goals yet they will need to keep things tight at the back with Balestier's own particular marquee marking Goran Ljubojevic being equipped for bringing about harm from any place.
The Stags won't have it simple against title hopefuls Balestier, with their last match against Warriors FC being the best illustration why.
Having lost three key players after Yusiskandar Yusop, Kim Min Ho and Ridwan Jamil all saw red, Balestier showed a solid mental quality to hold Warriors in a throbbing 2-2 draw at Jalan Besar Stadium, pulling level after goals from Ljubojevic and skipper Paul Cunningham.
Balestier's power set-pieces will additionally proved to be useful against a flimsy Tampines defence, which has generally spilled in five goals this season.
The Tigers will be welcoming Kim and Ridwan back, while Yusiskandar stays out of the action as he serves his second match suspension.
This game guarantees much end-to-end movements, as both teams have been showing smoothness in their individual attacks so far this season.
