Stirling Macedonia vs Floreat Athena tips and predictions

Decent match-up expected in NPL Western Australia

Stirling Macedonia are currently in first place as they look ahead to hosting third place Floreat Athena. The stakes are pretty high here with 4 points the difference.

This looks like an evenly contested affair and there are arguments to be made for both teams. The pick is to get with the home team but with hindsight this could look stupid by full-time.

For Stirling Macedonia to come through this challenge they'll need to build on the positives of their recent displays. The hosts have picked up 7 wins from 8 matches while the travelling side has pulled up short at times. They've lost 5 of their recent 8 matches on the road.

Stirling Macedonia have been producing some brilliant stuff. Their recent 5 matches have resulted in them hitting the net an average of 2.6 times per game and that approach has been consolidated at the back where they have conceded no more than once in all of their last 4 games.

Floreat Athena have had better periods away from home. They've actually conceded an average of 3.3 goals in their last 7 matches away from their own turf. This match will be a decent test of their bouncebackability.

Don't be surprised to see these sides ending up in parity though. The sportsbooks believe that neither side will keep a clean sheet during this match as they could be well matched. But with the odds-against price on BTTS No, that makes more sense here.
