Redlands vs Queensland Lions tips and predictions

Visitors price doesn't appeal

If you like attacking football you'll be buzzing when this delivers the goals it's likely to. But that doesn't mean there's value in the prices.

You'd be forgiven for thinking that Queensland Lions just have to turn up, but the visitors are too short a price. While they are rightly the clear favourites their price renders them unbackable. At least as far as this preview is concerned.

Redlands will take anything they can from Queensland Lions's recent results. Defeats have gradually been mounting up for this group of away players over their last 3 fixtures. They've lost once during these 3 starts. This doesn't look like the recent record of a side that is such a massive favourite.

And while they are expected to get through Redlands they're certainly not a shoe-in and a home win might be a reasonable suggestion.

Redlands must be prepared for half-chances against the run of play. While probably not enough to change the destiny of the match, the hosts have posted some good numbers. They have scored at least once in all of their recent 5 home matches and the rest of the squad has also been diligent. In their current run they've conceded no more than once in 6 of their last 9 home games.

At certain times Queensland Lions have lacked a solid platform under pressure. They have conceded two or more goals in 4 of their last 7 matches. And the home side will be desperately looking for evidence that the inevitable annihilation can be avoided. In front of goal the visitors have been underwhelming. They've scored one or less goals in 7 of their last 12 matches.

The sportsbooks' prices indicate that neither side will keep a clean sheet during this match despite the irrefutable favouritism for Queensland Lions. It's not a strong view but the odds-against for the BTTS No looks more tempting for this encounter.
