Football Association of Singapore

As the curtain comes down on the 2024/2025 Singapore Premier League season, all eyes turn to a final round of fixtures that provide a fitting conclusion to a dramatic campaign. Hougang United take on Brunei DPMM in the opening match of the matchweek on Saturday at the Jalan Besar Stadium, with a struggling Cheetahs side looking to upset an in-form DPMM outfit that has found its rhythm in recent weeks. Simultaneously, Lion City Sailors will look to assert their dominance over second-placed BG Tampines Rovers at Our Tampines Hub, as the newly-crowned champions look to widen the final gap between them and the Stags. 

On Sunday, Geylang International will travel to the East to face Tanjong Pagar United, who are in desperate need of a morale-boosting win to close out the season. The campaign will close with Balestier Khalsa taking on Albirex Niigata at the Bishan Stadium, in what is Tigers head coach Peter De Roo’s final game in charge of the club.
