SINGAPORE - After suffering two successive losses in the third round of World Cup qualifying, Singapore are in line to play one more tune-up match before facing Jordan here on Oct 11.
Jordan have a 100 per cent winning record in Group A and the Lions face an unenviable must-win situation to keep their tournament alive.
Before facing the Philippines on Oct 7 at the Jalan Besar Stadium in an international friendly, the Lions will travel north to face former arch-rivals Selangor in the annual Sultan of Selangor's Cup on Oct 1.
Speaking to Today, national team manager Eugene Loo said yesterday: "We are planning to field the national team against Selangor as part of our preparations for the Jordan game. We need as many tune-up games as we can get before Jordan, and this offers us that opportunity."
The Lions will make their way up to the Shah Alam Stadium on Sept 30, returning the day after to continue their preparation for the crunch qualifier.
Last year, the Singapore Selection side romped past Selangor 6-0. SHAMIR OSMAN
