Floreat Athena vs Balcatta tips and predictions

Tough time for Balcatta

Balcatta can cause a few problems here but for sure, it's not a great prediction.

The hosts haven't looked like world-beaters in some of their average outings. Floreat Athena have been frustratingly patchy. They've lost 8 of their last 15 games as hosts. They will need to shore up their defence. They conceded three or more goals in 8 of their last 20 home matches. Maybe this lends additional support for the away win.

Balcatta have actually got the win in 8 of their last 16 away matches. Their decent results have been secured by how clinical they've been in front of goal. They've scored at least once in 17 of their last 18 away fixtures which is something they'll have to build on to have any chance of doing the business here. In defence they have also posted some good numbers. They've conceded no more than once in 9 of their last 16 away matches. While not a widespread opinion there is surely some justification for the visitors to come through this test.

Winning might be a stretch but they can pinch something here, maybe just the draw. It's felt that neither side will keep a clean sheet during this match despite the favouritism for Floreat Athena. It isn't a strong view and it might not be that exciting but the BTTS No looks more tempting on this occasion.
