Devonport vs South Hobart tips and predictions

Devonport not guaranteed to hold all the aces against South Hobart

There's nothing between Devonport and South Hobart. The two sides reside in third place with 10 points in the NPL Tasmania so it's all to play for. Both sides will want to make a statement.

This isn't a confident view but the short price for Devonport has made them a terrible bet. South Hobart don't look likely to get the job done but they can put up some resistance. Building on the strong rearguard performances of both sides, a goalless stalemate is the pick but it's certainly not something to get carried away about.

Both of these sides have looked strong in defence. Creating something of a fortress at home, Devonport have conceded at an average of just 0.6 goals per game over their last 5 matches. Meanwhile South Hobart have only conceded 0.7 goals per game on average in their last 6 away matches.

The betting markets suggest that neither side will keep a clean sheet during this match despite the favouritism for Devonport. But with the odds-against price on BTTS No that seems the better option here.

Devonport drew one of their last 3 matches and they drew 0-0 with Launceston at home last week and a similar scoreline is on the cards here. The price is just a touch too big, and that's why this verdict goes for the deadlock.
