"A `certain’ coach was watching in the stands, as he would have definitely noted down somewhere in his notepad that even without stepping out of second gear, the Protectors would still grind out results."

Home United face off against bitter rivals SAFFC, in a must-win clash to decide who goes to the top of the S-League table. Only one team has the right to the ownership of the title trophy, and just about only one team deserves to win it, one could say.

Home United enter this game fresh from slaying the Tigers of Balestier Khalsa in their own backyard, where not only the Home’s coach but also all the hardworking flag-waving fans rejoiced in the happiness of a sweet victory. A `certain’ coach was watching in the stands, as he would have definitely noted down somewhere in his notepad that even without stepping out of second gear, the Protectors would still grind out results. SAFFC meanwhile is also alight after a esounding victory over the Young Lions over the weekend.

The last time Home United beat their opponents was in late 2005, when inspired by Egmar Goncalves, the Protectors put five past their rivals without reply. Everyone was delighted with the win in Bishan Stadium as it capped an eventful end to an otherwise uneventful season. So far, barring the fact that Geylang won their only title in 2001, the S-League championship has been monopolised by Home and SAFFC. Every match, every encounter and every fixture involving both teams promises plenty of excitement and fireworks. With three points, be sure both teams would be up for the challenge as soon as the final whistle blows. The likes of Qiu Li, Jia Yi, Ludovick, Kone and Lenan can be counted on to give their best. One can be sure; a titanic tussle is on the cards.
