Hong Kong FC vs Lee Man WarriorsPrediction, probable lineups, recent form & season stats

Hong Kong FC and Warriors meet on matchday three of a season that has only just begun, with too few games played for the table to say anything. Hong Kong FC started on 22 August with a 3-2 defeat away at Southern District. Their earlier outings, at the end of last season, were a 1-1 draw at Kowloon City, a 2-1 home win over BC Rangers, a 4-1 home defeat by Southern District, a 2-1 win at Eastern District and a 5-0 loss at Eastern. Warriors opened with two 3-0 wins, on 23 August against Kowloon City and on 28 August against Shatin, both in front of their own crowd. Before that came a 3-2 home defeat by Wofoo Tai Po, a 4-2 win at North District, a 1-0 home loss to Eastern and a 4-1 win at Kitchee. All six available previous meetings ended in a Warriors victory: 4-0 and 4-0 at Hong Kong FC, then 7-1, 3-0, 3-1 and 2-0 on the other ground. The prediction may change in the hours before kick-off. Confirmed line-ups, late injuries, suspensions, rotation ahead of other fixtures and the state of the pitch and the weather can all alter the picture described above. In those cases the selection may be reviewed and updated within 12 to 24 hours of the match: this happens rarely, but when it does, the version published on this page is always the current one.
