The continental cup AFC Champions League Two brings Tampines Rovers up against Machida Zelvia in a game whose pattern is expected to tilt one way. The visiting Japanese side should dominate the ball and push forward, while the Singaporean hosts are likely to sit deep and wait for the counter. Tampines Rovers just won 4-0 in the league last time out, and in their own league they took 2 wins from their first 3 matches, scoring 6 and conceding 2, but the stats from their last 10 matches across all competitions say their defence keeps getting breached (4.7 shots on target faced per game). Machida Zelvia are in better form, with 3 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss from their last 5, and they are unbeaten in 3 straight, with a defence that over their last 10 matches has allowed opponents just 3.2 shots on target per game. If Machida Zelvia score first from their superior possession, the game should open up for the visitors to keep pushing, and Tampines Rovers, forced to open up themselves, should be even more at risk of being hit on the counter when they push their line high.
