SLVC Preview: SAFFC vs Liaoning on 1-Sep
After its 1-1 draw with Gombak on 27-Aug, SAFFC's next match was supposed to be against Sengkang on 5-Sep. However, due to some fixtures rescheduling, it will now first play Liaoning on 1-Sep instead, before facing Sengkang 4 days later.
To date, Liaoning has played only 1 SLVC game so far (a 1-2 away loss vs Home United on 10-June-2007), the fewest among all 19 S.League teams, past & present.
After the SAFFC game, Liaoning will pull level with Paya Lebar in terms of SLVC games played (2). The other teams who have only have Single Digit SLVC appearances are: Super Reds (4), Sporting Afrique (4) & Albirex Niigata (7).
As of now, Liaoning is also 1 of the 5 teams who have never won a SLVC game, the other 4 teams being Sengkang (none in 18 attempts!!), Sporting Afrique, Albirex Niigata & Paya Lebar.
Altogether Liaoning has met SAFFC twice in the S.League so far, with both games resulted in heavy defeats (0-3 & 1-4), it would be safe to assume that SAFFC will win this, wouldn't it?

Projected S.League 2007 Finish base on 28-Aug Table (1st Method)
After the top-3 sides completed their Round 2 fixtures (having played 22 games each), let's take a relook at the Projected S.League 2007 Finish using the 1st method as below:
As at 28-Aug: (including Albirex 1-2 Tampines)
#-- Team------ P- W- D L- GF-GA Pts GD--
01. Home------ 22 16 4 02 49-22 52 (+27)
02. Tampines-- 22 16 3 03 48-21 51 (+27)
03. SAFFC----- 22 16 2 04 63-28 50 (+35)
04. YoungLions 21 09 5 07 31-31 32 (+0)
05. Gombak---- 22 08 5 09 36-29 29 (+7)
06. Woodlands- 21 06 8 07 30-36 26 (-6)
07. Liaoning-- 21 07 3 11 23-35 24 (-12)
08. Albirex--- 22 06 5 11 29-34 23 (-5)
09. Geylang--- 22 06 5 11 24-30 23 (-6)
10. Balestier- 21 05 5 11 25-34 20 (-9)
11. Sengkang-- 21 04 6 11 25-39 18 (-14)
12. Super Reds 21 02 5 14 13-57 11 (-44)
Projected Finish v1:
#-- Team------ P- W- D- L- GF-GA Pts GD--
01. Home------ 33 24 06 03 74-33 78 (+41)
02. Tampines-- 33 24 05 04 72-32 77 (+40)
03. SAFFC----- 33 24 03 06 95-42 75 (+53)
04. YoungLions 33 14 08 11 49-49 50 (+0)
05. Gombak---- 33 12 08 13 54-44 43 (+10)
06. Woodlands- 33 09 13 11 47-57 40 (-10)
07. Liaoning-- 33 11 05 17 36-55 38 (-19)
08. Albirex--- 33 09 08 16 44-51 35 (-7)
09. Geylang--- 33 09 08 16 36-45 35 (-9)
10. Balestier- 33 08 08 17 39-53 32 (-14)
11. Sengkang-- 33 06 09 18 39-61 27 (-22)
12. Super Reds 33 03 09 21 20-90 18 (-70)
Looks like SAFFC's 1-1 draw against Gombak on 27-Aug has done much damage to its title aspiration, isn't it?
SAFFC was indeed quite unlucky, as both its title rivals actually struggled, & only won with goal(s) close to the end of their respective matches.

SLVC: Gombak 1-1, SAFFC Lost Ground but Kept Title...
Though SAFFC managed to defend its SLVC title after a hard-fought 1-1 draw against Gombak on 27-Aug, it has lost much ground to the other 2 contenders for the 2007 S.League Title, after Home beat Geylang 2-1 with 2 injury-time goals a day earlier, & Tampines expected to conquer Albirex a day later.
With this latest setback, SAFFC also missed the chance to reach 100 away wins by the end of 2007 season, it currently has 94 away wins all-time & 5 away games remaining in 2007.
It also made its improbable quest to catch-up with Home in the 2007 SLVC mini-league much harder. (SAFFC now has 4 points vs Home's 33 with just 11 games left in 2007)
Nevertheless, SAFFC still broke a bit of ground with the draw by becoming the only team to have played more than 100 SLVC games, 1 more than Home.
Meanwhile, the draw didn't do Gombak much favour though, as not only it denied a win against SAFFC in 6 SLVC games, but also lost ground to Young Lions in the race for 4th-place in 2007 (although it did overtake Sembawang Rangers into 11th place in the all-time SLVC mini-league).
SAFFC's next SLVC opponent will be the much-improved Liaoning on 1-Sep, a preview shall be posted soon for this as usual...

2.Liaoning has now overtaken Sporting Afrique in the All Time Table, equal on 24 points but ahead with better G/D.
3.Liaoning has not let in a goal in the past 5 games, the new 0-0 result actually suited them better than the original 1-1 score.

5.It was the first game of the season being postponed due to weather reasons.
Anything else that you can think of? Feel free to comment...

============================================
Again, add-up the Projected Home/Away Tables would give us the Projected Final Table:

12. Super Reds-- 33 03 10 20 21 - 84 19 (-63)
As with the 3rd method, SAFFC would be champions. However, unlike the first 3 methods which produced photo-finishing for the top-3 sides, Tampines would be a bit far off the pace in this case...

Projected S.League 2007 Finish based on 24-Aug Home/Away Tables (3rd Method)
Having earlier posted 2 methods on computing the projected finish of S.League 2007, a 3rd method is now devised, based on the Home/Away performances of each team so far (similar to the 1st method w/o regard to recent form):
===========================================
Home Table as at 24-Aug (including KSR 1-1 Woodlands):
#- Team-------- P- W D L GF - GA Pts GD

===========================================
Projected Combined Finish:
#- Team-------- P- W- D L GF - GA Pts GD
1. Singapore AF 33 25 2 6 98 - 43 77 (+55)
2. Tampines---- 33 24 5 4 71 - 32 77 (+39)
3. Home-------- 33 23 7 3 73 - 33 76 (+40)
4. Young Lions- 33 14 8 11 48- 48 50 (+0)
5. Gombak------ 33 13 6 14 54 -43 45 (+11)

10. Balestier-- 33 8 8 17 39 - 53 32 (-14)
11. Sengkang--- 33 6 9 18 39 - 60 27 (-21)
12. Super Reds- 33 3 8 22 20 - 90 17 (-70)
===========================================
Using this 3rd method, SAFFC will be the champ as with the 1st method. However Tampines, who were projected as 2nd-runner-up with both 1st & 2nd methods, will take the 2nd-spot here, pushing Home to 3rd-place instead.
A 4th method which looks at the recent Home/Away form of each team (similar to the 2nd method) is also WIP (work-in-progress), more on this later...

Projected Combined Finish:

12. Super Reds- 33 3 8 22 20 - 90 17 (-70)
===========================================
Using this 3rd method, SAFFC will be the champ as with the 1st method. However Tampines, who were projected as 2nd-runner-up with both 1st & 2nd methods, will take the 2nd-spot here, pushing Home to 3rd-place instead.
A 4th method which looks at the recent Home/Away form of each team (similar to the 2nd method) is also WIP (work-in-progress), more on this later...

SLVC Preview: Gombak vs SAFFC on 27-Aug
Our newly-crowned SLVC Champion, SAFFC, shall begin its title defense against Gombak on 27-Aug. As we should know by now base on earlier posts, SAFFC is the most successful team in SLVC in terms of titles, season-end titles, points, wins, goals scored, goal diff. & games played, but how about Gombak?
Gombak has so far won the SLVC title twice as follows:
110 2000-07-28 Gombak---- Home------ 1 0
299 2006-11-03 Gombak---- Home------ 1 0
Its 2nd win was particularly special as it came at the end of of the season, thus giving Gombak the honor of season-end title in 2006!
There're a few similarities in these 2 wins:
1.Gombak were the host.
2.The score-line were 1-0.
3.Home Utd were its victim twice.
4.Gombak couldn't defend its titles by losing the next games:
111 2000-08-04 Clementi-- Gombak---- 4 3
300 2007-03-08 Gombak---- Geylang--- 0 1
Altogether Gombak has played 23 SLVC games; it won 2, drew 4 & lost 17 to amass 10 points for 12th place in the all-time SLVC mini-league; it has scored 26 goals & conceded 56 for an overall GD of -30.
Gombak's head-to-head record against SAFFC was actually quite poor, they have met 5 times so far with Gombak drew 1, lost 4, scored 7 & let in 13: (WDL from Gombak's perspective)
-----------------------------------------------------------------
#- Date------ Home Team- Away Team HG AG Holder--- Challenger WDL
-----------------------------------------------------------------
069 1998-08-01 Sing. AF-- Gombak---- 1 0 Sing. AF-- Gombak---- L
073 1999-04-23 Gombak---- Sing. AF-- 3 3 Sing. AF-- Gombak---- D
150 2002-03-14 Sing. AF-- Gombak---- 2 1 Sing. AF-- Gombak---- L
174 2002-08-29 Gombak---- Sing. AF-- 3 4 Sing. AF-- Gombak---- L
272 2006-04-13 Gombak---- Sing. AF-- 0 3 Sing. AF-- Gombak---- L
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Base on their head-to-head record since 2001, it seemed SAFFC should win this, as it had won 8, drew 1 & lost just 1 against Gombak in 10 meetings!

Projected S.League 2007 Finish based on 22-Aug Table (2nd Method)
Having earlier posted the projected finish of S.League 2007 base on the 22-Aug Table, I thought it would be interesting to publish an alternate version which consider the recent form of each team more.
Again, as at 22-Aug, the S.League Table is:
#-- Team------ P- W- D L- GF-GA Pts GD--
01. SAFFC----- 21 16 1 04 62-27 49 (+35)
02. Home------ 21 15 4 02 47-21 49 (+26)
03. Tampines-- 21 15 3 03 46-20 48 (+26)
04. YoungLions 21 09 5 07 31-31 32 (+0)
05. Gombak---- 20 07 4 09 32-27 25 (+5)
06. Woodlands- 20 06 7 07 29-35 25 (-6)
07. Geylang--- 21 06 5 10 23-28 23 (-5)
08. Liaoning-- 20 07 2 11 23-35 23 (-12)
09. Albirex--- 20 06 4 10 28-32 22 (-4)
10. Balestier- 20 05 5 10 24-31 20 (-7)
11. Sengkang-- 21 04 6 11 25-39 18 (-14)
12. Super Reds 20 02 4 14 12-56 10 (-44)
Base on the number of games (12 or 13) remaining for each team, compile the "form table" with the corresponding number of games each team last played:
(e.g. pick the last 12 games for SAFFC who has played 21 games & has 12 games remaining; while the last 13 games will be picked for Super Reds who has completed 20 games as at 22-Aug)
#-- Team------ P- W D L GF-GA Pts GD--
01. Tampines-- 12 8 3 1 26-10 27 (+16)
02. SAFFC----- 12 9 0 3 33-19 27 (+14)
03. Home------ 12 8 3 1 26-14 27 (+12)
04. YoungLions 12 6 3 3 20-18 21 (+2)
05. Liaoning-- 13 6 2 5 13-17 20 (-4)
06. Woodlands- 13 4 5 4 21-21 17 (+0)
07. Gombak---- 13 4 2 7 22-18 14 (+4)
08. Albirex--- 13 4 2 7 19-21 14 (-2)
09. Geylang--- 12 3 3 6 11-15 12 (-4)
10. Balestier- 13 2 3 8 12-19 09 (-7)
11. Sengkang-- 12 2 3 7 11-23 09 (-12)
12. Super Reds 13 1 4 8 07-31 07 (-24)
Simply add-up these 2 tables & here we have the projected finish, version 2:
#-- Team------ P- W- D- L- GF-GA Pts GD--
01. SAFFC----- 33 25 01 07 95-46 76 (+49)
02. Home------ 33 23 07 03 73-35 76 (+38)
03. Tampines-- 33 23 06 04 72-30 75 (+42)
04. YoungLions 33 15 08 10 51-49 53 (+2)
05. Liaoning-- 33 13 04 16 36-52 43 (-16)
06. Woodlands- 33 10 12 11 50-56 42 (-6)
07. Gombak---- 33 11 06 16 54-45 39 (+9)
08. Albirex--- 33 10 06 17 47-53 36 (-6)
09. Geylang--- 33 09 08 16 34-43 35 (-9)
10. Balestier- 33 07 08 18 36-50 29 (-14)
11. Sengkang-- 33 06 09 18 36-62 27 (-26)
12. Super Reds 33 03 08 22 19-87 17 (-68)
Now SAFFC will be the 2007 champions, :-P

Projected S.League 2007 Finish base on 22-Aug Table (1st Method)
Home United will be the winner of S.League 2007!!
Why? Just read through...
As at 22-Aug, the S.League Table is as below:
#-- Team------ P- W- D L- GF-GA Pts GD
01. SAFFC----- 21 16 1 04 62-27 49 (+35)
02. Home------ 21 15 4 02 47-21 49 (+26)

07. Geylang--- 21 06 5 10 23-28 23 (-5)
08. Liaoning-- 20 07 2 11 23-35 23 (-12)
09. Albirex--- 20 06 4 10 28-32 22 (-4)
10. Balestier- 20 05 5 10 24-31 20 (-7)
11. Sengkang-- 21 04 6 11 25-39 18 (-14)
12. Super Reds 20 02 4 14 12-56 10 (-44)
Based on the performance of each team above, the projected finish would be:
#-- Team------ P- W- D- L- GF-GA Pts GD
01. Home------ 33 24 06 03 74-33 78 (+41)
02. SAFFC----- 33 25 02 06 97-42 77 (+55)
03. Tampines-- 33 24 05 04 72-31 77 (+41)
04. YoungLions 33 14 08 11 49-49 50 (+0)
05. Gombak---- 33 12 07 14 53-45 43 (+8)
06. Woodlands- 33 10 12 11 48-58 42 (-10)
07. Liaoning-- 33 12 03 18 38-58 39 (-20)
08. Albirex--- 33 10 07 16 46-53 37 (-7)
09. Geylang--- 33 09 08 16 36-44 35 (-8)
10. Balestier- 33 08 08 17 40-51 32 (-11)
11. Sengkang-- 33 06 09 18 39-61 27 (-22)
12. Super Reds 33 03 07 23 20-92 16 (-72)
How? This is done by:
1.Taking the W, D, L, GF & GA of each team,
2.Divide them by the number of games each team has played so far,
3.Multiply them by the number of games to be played all-season (i.e. 33),
4.The projected points totals & GD of each team are then worked out accordingly...
This method may not be 100% right, since it doesn't take into account the recent form of each team. For one, I don't think Super Reds will end the season with just 16 points, given their good form after the transfer window...
We'll see how accurate this is at the end of 2007 season!!

More Stats on SAFFC 4-1 Home on 20-Aug
Just realized that apart from what's already published in an earlier post on SAFFC 4-1 Home on 20-Aug, there're several other stats of some significance which are now captured as follows:

4.Should SAFFC remain unbeaten as SLVC title holder until 16-Nov, it will meet Home again for another tussle, which may provide Home the golden chance to reach 60 wins, as well as earning its potential 12th title, before the end of 2007.

Tampines' Triple Missions on 21-Aug
After SAFFC destroyed Home 4-1 on 20-Aug, Tampines will hope to take maximum advantage of this result, by beating Sengkang in the next match on 21-Aug, in order to:
1.Close the gap with the top-2 to just 1 point.
2.Break into "Club-500" in terms of all-time points.
3.Move closer to Geylang in the all-time S.League table.
For the 2nd objective alone, a draw will do, as they currently have 499 points.
Base on the head-to-head records between them since 2001, Tampines has amazingly won 11 & drew 2 out of 13 meetings! By counting only the matches hosted by Tampines, the record was 4 wins & 1 draw.
Looks like Tampines should take this one, what do you think?

SLVC: SAFFC 4-1 Home United: A New Champion Finally!!
Wow, what a bang, SAFFC just routed Home 4-1 at CCK Stadium on 20-Aug! Unbelievable!!
Usually Top-Of-The-Table clashes are pretty tight affairs, so to win by 3 clear goals in such fixtures is definitely no mean feat, though the fact that Home was playing its 3rd game in 6 days while SAFFC has rested for 15 days prior to the game may also be the contributing factor...
More info on the match at SLeague.Com's Preview+Details+Report, TodayOnline, ChannelNewsAsia & ZaoBao.
As mentioned in my earlier SLVC preview post, SAFFC has now achieved 6 objectives in 1 shot with this impressive victory:
1.SAFFC has overtaken Home at the top of 2007 S.League Table on G/D after 21 rounds.
2.SAFFC has avenged its previous SLVC defeat against Home on 18-May-2007.
3.SAFFC has regained leadership in the all-time SLVC mini-league standings.
4.SAFFC has improved its favourable SLVC record against Home to 7-4-4.
5.SAFFC has leapt from 12 to 4th-place in the 2007 SLVC mini-league.
6.SAFFC has won its 13th SLVC title, the most among all teams.
SAFFC's next game will be against Gombak on 27-Aug, stay tuned for a preview on this later.
However, as we marvel the way SAFFC wrested the SLVC title away, let us look at the solid "Home Run" enjoyed by the Protectors prior to this defeat:
1.Home has played 14 SLVC games in 2007 so far, 10 more than any other team;
2.Home has won 10, drew 3 & lost just 1 game to collect 33 points from this run;
3.Home has scored 32 & conceded only 16 goals for an iterim G/D of 16;
4.Home has held the SLVC title from 28-April to 20-Aug for a period of 114 days, the 4th-longest in-season reign (excluded those by season-end winners that spanned through several monthes of off-season, which certainly exagerated the figures); &
5.Home's title reign over 14 games is also the 3rd-longest in SLVC history;
6.Home looked set to finish as 2007 SLVC mini-league winner, unless SAFFC can avoid defeat & amass at least 30 points (i.e. 10 wins or 9 wins+3 draws) from its remaining 12 league games, which is surely quite a tall order.
Simply impressive, isn't it?

SLVC Preview: SAFFC vs Home on 20-Aug - Another Titanic Clash!!
Home United's next opponent on 20-Aug, defending champions SAFFC, is not just the most successful club in S.League history (with 5 championships & being the all-time table leader), but also the most accomplished team in SLVC alongside Home, having won the title 12 times, as well as topping the all-time standings of SLVC mini-league since 2002, only to be overtaken by Home recently on 17-Aug-2007.
In this titanic clash, several things will be at stake:
1.SAFFC (currently 2nd in the league) will hope to beat Home (current leader) to overtake the top spot on Goal Difference.
2.SAFFC will be keen to exact revenge on Home who beat them 2-0 on 18-May-2007, which was also an SLVC match.
3.SAFFC will also hope to regain its leadership in all-time SLVC mini-league standings, with Home just 1 point ahead.
Unlike the few teams Home played earlier on, SAFFC is understandably one of the only 2 teams (the other is surprisingly Gombak United) that fared better against Home head-to-head in SLVC, having met 14 times: won 6, drew 4 & lost 4; scored 19 & conceded 17 in the process.
List of results as follows: (WDL was from SAFFC's of View)

-----------------------------------------------------------------
In terms of playing against Home as host & challenger, SAFFC's results were also favourable, having won twice and drew once according to the above listings.
In fact, SAFFC has never lost as host (holder/challenger regardless), & has only lost once to Home as a challenger (home/away regardless), which happened to be the same match on 18-May-2007 as mentioned in point #2 above.
For more info on the match-up, please visit previews on SLeague.Com & TodayOnline.
Who do you think will win on 20-Aug? With both teams fighting hard for the 2007 League Title & Tampines preying from behind, it is going to be yet another electrifying contest!

Geylang 2-1 Albirex: Foreign Team's Unbeaten Streak Ended
On 19-Aug, the unbeaten run enjoyed by the S.League's Foreign Teams has finally came to an end as Geylang edged out Albirex at home with an 85th-minute goal. More info on the match at:
S.League's Preview + Details + Report,
ZaoBao's Report: 新联赛 芽笼2比1力挫新潟 &
ChannelNewsAsia's Report: Football: Geylang beat Albirex in S.League match.
It is also worth noting that this is the only 2nd time Geylang has defeated Albirex in 11 encounters since 2004.
With this win, Geylang has climbed from 11th (before 16-Aug) to 7th-place in 2007 table, & also managed to pull away from Tampines in the all-time S.League table for now, though I still very much expect Tampines to overtake Geylang before the end of 2007, based on their relative performances so far.

Tampines 1-1 Home Keep Title Going...
On 17-Aug, Tampines was unable to break Home Utd's hold on the SLVC title after a 1-1 draw at Jalan Besar Stadium. Details of the match are available at S.League.Com's Preview+Details+Report, TodayOnline, ChannelNewsAsia & ZaoBao.
This disappointing draw not only ruined Tampines' hope to close the gap with the top-2 sides, but also blew its chance to join the "Club-500" sooner, with its all-time points total now stucked at 499.
As for Home, this valuable draw not only preserve its cushion at the top of S.League 2007 table, but also allowed it to overtake SAFFC as the sole leader in the all-time SLVC mini-league.
Home's record as the current SLVC holder is now 10 wins & 3 draws. With just 13 games to go before the season ends, Home will most likely finish as the winner of SLVC mini-league in 2007!
Home's next SLVC game is another big one, this time against defending champions SAFFC, previews available at S.League.Com & TodayOnline. A SLVC preview will also be put-up shortly.

Geylang is now in "Club-500", Tampines to follow soon...
Just realized that Geylang has now amassed more than 500 S.League points all-time, after its 2-0 away win over Woodlands on 16-Aug (Details at TodayOnline's Report, ChannelNewsAsia & SLeague.Com), which gave it 503 points in total.
Based on the all-time table published on 13-Aug, it has in fact reached the 500 points mark after its previous match, a 0-0 home draw with Balestier back in 31-July.
Congrats to Geylang for reaching this remarkable milestone!! It is only the 3rd club to have achieve that so far, after SAFFC & Home.
FYI, SAFFC reached 500 league points when it beat Geylang (what a coincidence!) 3-1 away on 2-Sep-2004; while Home made it with a 2-0 away win over the now defunct Sporting Afrique on 6-Aug-2006.
Currently, Tampines already has 498 points after its 2-1 win against Gombak on 14-Aug, it could also join the elite "Club-500" should it get a win vs Home United on 17-Aug.
The next best team in the all-time table is Woodlands with 439 points. However it can't reach 500 by the end of 2007 season with just 13 matches left (for a max. yield of 39 points, thus reaching 478 points at most) after the 2-0 defeat by Geylang at home on 17-Aug.

Sengkang 0-1 Liaoning: Foreign Teams Still Unbeaten
Liaoning has just beaten Sengkang 1-0 away on 16-Aug to prolong the unbeaten run of foreign teams in the S.League to 8 games as shown below (extracted from SoccerDB):
0 2007-07-13 Super Reds Sing. AF-- 0 - 1
0 2007-07-14 Liaoning-- Geylang--- 2 - 0
0 2007-07-15 Albirex--- YoungLions 0 - 1
1 2007-07-17 Super Reds Tampines-- 1 - 1
2 2007-07-20 Balestier- Liaoning-- 0 - 1
3 2007-08-01 Liaoning-- Super Reds 0 - 0
4 2007-08-03 Gombak---- Albirex--- 1 - 2
5 2007-08-06 Super Reds Sengkang-- 2 - 1
6 2007-08-07 Liaoning-- Gombak---- 1 - 0
7 2007-08-15 Albirex--- Super Reds 1 - 1
8 2007-08-16 Sengkang-- Liaoning-- 0 - 1
More info on the match at:
KallangRoar.Com's Report,
ZaoBao's Report: 辽宁再展雄风力挫盛港 &
S.League's Preview + Details + Report.
As mentioned, Albirex is now unbeaten in 2 games (1W1D, F3A2); while Korean SR hasn't lost for 4 games (1W3D, F5A3); but Liaoning have been the most impressive with more wins & cleansheets (4W1D, F5A0)!
Liaoning has now reached a season-high 7th place in the standings, with 5th/6th-placed Gombak/Woodlands (who are just 2 points ahead) firmly in sight...
The next match to watch out would be Geylang vs Albirex on 19-Aug, can this run continue by then?
Based on the head-to-head records between them since 2004, where Geylang only won 1 out of 10 encounters, it is very likely that Albirex, having won 5 & drew 4 out of the remaining 9 games, can at least secure a draw, :-)
