Sutherland Sharks vs Rockdale Ilinden tips and predictions

Sutherland Sharks tempting price to frustrate Rockdale Ilinden

To start this preview with a caveat; this strategy is pushing the envelope but the away side price is too short.

This Sutherland Sharks team might have their backs to the wall in no time. However, the hosts have secured 2 home wins from their last 5 games. With differing fortunes the travelling side has pulled up short at times. They've lost 1 of their last 3 matches, home or away. For a team so short in the betting, perhaps they'd be expected to have done better than this.

Sutherland Sharks are going to have to produce a level of football most people don't think they have in them. While probably not enough to change the fate of the match, the hosts have posted some good numbers. The hosts have built up a head of steam in their previous performances. They have scored two or more goals in 2 of their recent 4 matches and that's been backed up throughout their ranks. The records show they have kept a clean sheet in 9 of their last 19 home games.

Rockdale Ilinden have been punished when they've lost their shape. They've conceded at least once in all of their last 5 matches. There's not enough in the stats to get carried away with - their back four are capable of turning things around pretty quickly. Don't get it twisted; they're the favourites for a reason.

Rockdale Ilinden will be keen to further justify their short price with a clean sheet at full-time. It isn't a strong view among today's fixtures but the No BTTS bet is fair enough.
