Redlands vs Olympic FC tips and predictions

Interesting match-up in NPL Queensland

There are 8 points separating the two NPL Queensland clubs as seventh place Redlands get set to host 12th place Olympic FC.

The in-form home team will look for a fast start when this gets going. This is a match-up that is likely to deliver action. There's not a huge amount of confidence in the match winner market though.

Sure, there are reasons to believe that the visitors can produce a result but the feeling here is that the home side should take the bragging rights.

Whether it's important or not Redlands might have reasons to be confident about adding to Olympic FC's recent defeats. This group of away players come into the match with 10 losses from their last 13 matches. It doesn't sound like the recent record of a team that will fancy their chances.

These home players are making the most of a recent run of form and they have shown their prowess when everything comes together. Redlands scored three or more goals in 3 of their recent 8 matches while their rearguard players have been backing up the frontline. They have only conceded an average of 0.8 goals over their last 5 games.

Olympic FC have conceded two or more goals in 15 of their last 17 matches. And the home side's defenders will take some confidence when they consider their opposite numbers. The visitors have not been able to rely on their forwards in some of their recent engagements. They've been goalless in 7 of their last 15 matches.

This is not a confident prediction though. They may end up sharing the spoils. Most observers believe that both sides can get in on the act as they can both be dangerous in front of goal. This preview is all about value though and with the odds-against price on BTTS No, that makes more sense this time around.
