Brunnei's DPMM title challenge took a big hit last time round when they went down to tenth placed Sengkang Punggol 2-1. The Bruneian side did win the Singapore League Cup last month and is currently fourth in the table. Even if DPMM do not win the title this season, they have already exceeded all expectations of them. Before the start of the season, Brunei's DPMM was regarded as one of the likeliest candidates to finish in the bottom three of the league but they have proved their doubters wrong. As for Tampines, a win today will see them leapfrog to second in the standings, further reducing the deficit between them and leaders SAFC.

Tampines have played veyr consistently throughout the year and with only one loss in their record, they do seem to rekindle their old form back in 2003-2004 when they were absolute champions. Noh Alam Shah have been crucial in their ambitions thus far,scoring in each of his last four games. DPMM will have to make dow ithout several key personnel such as Rene Koumar. He is an instrumental figure in their defence and without his service, I do not think that DPMM will hold onto here.

Pick: Tampines -0.5 @1.85
