Clarence Zebras vs Glenorchy Knights tips and predictions

NPL Tasmania match offers big price for Clarence Zebras glory

It seems that most previews are dismissing the home win but given the odds available they are tremendous value.

This Clarence Zebras team might have their backs to the wall in quick time. However, the hosts have got 2 home wins from their last 3 games while the travelling side has tasted defeat in 4 of their recent 7 matches on the road. With all due respect to Clarence Zebras, it is understandable that they've been written off already. But it's worth looking closer at how the two sides have fared.

Clarence Zebras are going to have to produce something out of this world. If the hosts are to grind out a win they'll be adding to a decent sequence of goal-scoring performances. When they're at home they are looking confident. Their recent 11 home matches have seen them knocking in an average of 3.7 goals per game.

When tested away from home Glenorchy Knights have conceded two or more goals in 6 of their last 9 matches. Only those wearing rose-tinted glasses will expect the upset, but it might happen.

In their last home fixture Clarence Zebras walloped Launceston United, ultimately winning 6-1.

There's usually some small-print when it comes to backing big-priced outsiders. It goes without saying that the more likely result is the away win but their price is too short for this preview.

Most observers believe that both sides can get in on the act despite the clear favouritism for Glenorchy Knights. However, the odds-against for the BTTS No looks slightly more tempting on this occasion.
