Dandenong Thunder vs Avondale FC tips and predictions

Dandenong Thunder price could be too big in NPL Victoria clash

Dandenong Thunder have been written off and that isn't news to anyone. But the visitors are just too short a price. They will probably get the job done but they are unbackable.

Dandenong Thunder need to be at their absolute best and even then they face a huge challenge. While ultimately probably not enough to change the result of the match, the hosts have posted some good numbers. This home team is making the most of a recent purple patch and they've looked pumped. They scored at least once in 13 of their recent 15 matches while their defensive showings warrant recognition. In recent showings they've kept a clean sheet in 2 of their last 6 home games.

On occasions Avondale FC have lacked a solid platform to resist pressure. They have conceded three or more goals in 3 of their last 9 matches. And the home side will be desperately looking for evidence that this might not be one-way traffic. In front of goal the visitors have been underwhelming. They've been goalless in 2 of their last 4 matches.

They've met several times before. Dandenong Thunder have won 2 of the last 4 fixtures between the two teams. They might not be important but the head-to-head stats are reasons for confidence in them even though the odds will tell you otherwise.

The sportsbooks are predicting goals at both ends of the park despite the indisputable favouritism for Avondale FC. It's not a strong view but the odds-against for the BTTS No looks a bit more tempting on this occasion.
