Home United FC's season rests on this Thursday's RHB Singapore Cup Quarter-Final 2nd Leg match against Geylang United FC at the Clementi Stadium. Trailing 1-2 after the first leg at Bedok Stadium which saw Home United's defensive rock Valery Heik sent off, our Protectors will need nothing less than a victory to stay in the competition. With little hopes of landing the S-League Championship, the RHB Singapore Cup presents Home United's only hope of a silverware this season.
Home United FC are on a barren run since 2005 and die hard fans are wondering how a team with plenty of quality players are unable to win any silveware for so long.
For Thursday's match, our Protectors will need to give their all and blaze Geylang United away. They will have to do without Valery Heik, who has been one of the few success stories this year. The Cameroon centreback has been a rock in defence, marshalling the backline with authority and marking out the League's top strikers. Recently, Aleksander Duric was made a pedestrian in Home's 2-0 win. His absence will give Head Coach PN Sivaji much to ponder upon as his options are limited. Fellow centrebacks S. Subramani and Ismail Yunos remain unavailable through injuries. Captain Rosman Sulaiman may have to fill in at centreback.
Apart from that, Home United should remain largely unchanged.
Do come on down to Clementi Stadium this Thursday for a 1945hrs kickoff.
Sparks will fly and excitment is promised !!!
