Competition: NPL Victoria
Market: Melbourne Knights win
Odds: 7/10 @ 1xBet
Hoping to find a route into the play-ff places Melbourne Knights will host Dandenong on Friday morning.
Starting with the hosts, crashing back down to earth last time out as they fell to a 3-1 loss at the hands of Oakleigh, Melbourne will be seeking an immediate response here. Although the Knights might have largely struggled with their consistency so far this season, Ivan Franjic’s men might have shown some extended inconsistencies this season, they still sit within touching distance of finding a route into the play-off places. Smelling the chance to break into the top-six this weekend, the Reds will certainly be excited to make a return to home soil here. Last seen at the Knights Stadium collecting a 2-1 victory against Altona Magic, Friday’s hosts have won all of their previous three NPL Victoria matchups in front of their own supporters by an aggregate score of 9-1. With their hometown flurry underlined by a thumping 6-0 romp against South Melbourne on June 21st, Franjic’s side are rightfully pencilled in as a standout contender.
As for the visitors, signing off July with a 1-0 loss away at St. Albans, Dandenong find themselves at the heart of a real struggle. Scrapping it out at the foot of the NPL Victoria standings, Nick Tolios’ men have lost three of their previous four appearances. With their recent issues underlined by a 2-1 defeat against Avondale last month, the Dandy have also gained a reputation for their struggles on the road. In fact, including a 2-0 loss against Heidelberg on May 31st, Dandenong have lost all of their last four straight NPL Victoria appearances away from the Frank Hohohan Complex by an aggregate score of 6-1. It should also be highlighted, Friday’s guests have collected just three points from any of their previous nine showdowns on their travels. Likewise, hit with a 2-1 loss when they travelled to the Knights last season, we are expecting a similar outcome this weekend.
Bet: Melbourne Knights 7/10 to beat Dandenong in Friday’s NPL Victoria matchup @ 1xBet
