Riverside Olympic vs Kingborough Lions tips and predictions

Tough time for Riverside Olympic

You'd be forgiven for thinking that Kingborough 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.

Riverside Olympic will take encouragement from some of Kingborough Lions's vulnerabilities in their recent results. The last 5 fixtures have not all gone to plan for the away squad; they've lost 3 times in those 5 starts. This doesn't look like the recent record of a side that is such a massive favourite.

And although they are expected to pull out a result against Riverside Olympic they are not a dead-cert and a home win might be a fair play.

Riverside Olympic are going to need some tremendously good fortune on their side. While ultimately probably not enough to change the destiny of the match, the hosts have posted some good numbers. The hosts are enjoying some form on their own paddock. They scored two or more goals in 4 of their recent 5 home matches.

Kingborough Lions have conceded two or more goals in 5 of their last 10 matches. They will be confident that they won't be adding to those stats though. They are the odds-on favourites after all.

In their last home fixture Riverside Olympic had a 3-2 win against Olympia Warriors while Kingborough Lions were beaten 2-1 by South Hobart in their last match.

The sportsbooks believe that both sides can get in on the act despite the vehement favouritism for Kingborough Lions. This preview is all about value though and with the odds-against price on BTTS No, that makes more sense this time around. In the total goals market, it's more than one goal that stands out here considering how that market has been priced up.
