Analysis

New day, new challenges – let’s take a look at a clash from the lower tiers of Australian football, where two bottom-table teams face off. Port Melbourne Sharks have a slight edge with 11 points, while Melbourne Knights sit last with only 9.

The hosts have taken 4 points from their last 5 games (4:7 goal difference), while the Knights are in worse shape – losing all 5 of their last games, with a disastrous 2:15 goal tally. In fact, they’ve lost their last 8 matches overall, conceding 21 goals and scoring only 3.

Both teams are in urgent need of points to escape the relegation zone. The visitors will be desperate to break their negative streak, and the hosts will aim to use their home advantage. Given both teams’ need to score and win, I expect goals from each side. A 1–1 draw seems unlikely, so I’m backing over 2.5 goals with both teams to score.

Good luck to everyone and may your bet slip go green.
