Marconi Stallions vs Sydney FC U21 tips and predictions

Sydney FC U21 warrant consideration ahead of this one

With just 2 points between them it's third placed Marconi Stallions versus first placed Sydney FC U21.

Marconi Stallions might score five absolute belters here but it would be reckless to back the short price.

After one or two less than dominant showings, the hosts will want to switch things up. There have been one or two question marks surrounding Marconi Stallions's defence. They conceded two or more goals in 11 of their last 19 home matches which is a stat that will be music to the ears of supporters of the outsiders.

Largely overlooked, the visitors will be up for this. Sydney FC U21 have actually secured the win in 7 of their last 12 campaigns. Most of their good results have been helped by their quality in front of goal. They've scored 3.6 goals on average over their last 8 games and to have any chance of success they'll have to contribute more goals to that number.

It's not a hugely confident prediction and the visitors will feel they've exceeded expectations if they end up sharing the spoils. The sportsbooks expect goals at both ends of the park despite the favouritism for Marconi Stallions. But with the odds-against price on BTTS No that looks like a good way to extract some value.

Marconi Stallions have not won any of the last 4 matches between these two sides.
