Cumberland United vs Adelaide Cobras tips and predictions

Close contest expected in SA State League

With 10 points Cumberland United are set to host Adelaide Cobras, on 12 points. There's just 2 places between these two.

The jury is out on this one and it should be a good game. The away side probably has the edge in terms of the odds available.

The hosts will be eager to put some of their recent passive displays well behind them. Cumberland United are causing pause for thought having lost 7 of their last 10 games as hosts. These reverses haven't been helped by their goal mouth stats. They've been goalless in 7 of their last 18 matches on their own paddock. Even if they face a depleted side those numbers make this an intriguing match-up. They must improve at the back. Conceding an average of 2.7 goals across their latest 9 matches on their own paddock has shown how they can be vulnerable when they've lost their shape.

If the away side hits their straps they should be the ones celebrating come full-time. Adelaide Cobras have won 2 of their last 3 outings. Their decent results have been summarised by their confidence in front of goal. They've scored two or more goals in all of their last 3 games and if they're at their prolific best they can impress their advantages here.

Ultimately, no one can be certain about what's in store. Most previews are saying that both sides can get in on the act as they could be well matched. But with the odds-against price on BTTS No that seems the better option. And taking a look at the goal line, it's Under 1.5 Goals for this one considering the price that's available there.
