Canberra Olympic vs Canberra Croatia tips and predictions

Canberra Olympic earning respect for this clash

When these sides meet they're bound to produce some goals. Some reports have intimated that Canberra Croatia can be vulnerable at the back. If there is any weakness, it could be exploited here.

You might have heard previews by analysts bigging up the visitors but that short price isn't great value.

Canberra Olympic supporters will look at Canberra Croatia's recent results for evidence that they are there for the taking. The last 3 fixtures have not all gone well for the away squad; they've lost 2 times in those 3 starts. For such a short priced team perhaps they'd be expected to have done better than this.

It won't surprise anyone to see them have too much for Canberra Olympic but this isn't a foregone conclusion and a home win is a reasonable suggestion.

Canberra Olympic will need to quickly find their form to have any chance. This home squad is making the most of a recent purple patch. They scored two or more goals in 4 of their recent 5 matches.

Away from home Canberra Croatia have actually conceded three or more goals in 4 of their last 14 matches. Further, there could be some evidence that their total goals expectation is in a slump. In the final third the visitors have sometimes seemed hesitant. Sometimes they can't find the net. They've scored one or less goals in all of their last 3 matches.

Canberra Olympic have won 9 of the last 18 fixtures between these sides before this one. You can chose to ignore them but head-to-head stats give reasons to believe in the home win even if the odds will tell you otherwise.

Winning might be far-fetched but they can grab something here. Perhaps a well contested draw is on the cards. The betting markets suggest that both sides can score despite the favouritism for Canberra Croatia. But with the odds-against price on BTTS No, that looks like a good way to extract some value on this occasion.
