Green Gully vs Eastern Lions tips and predictions

Celebrations not certain for Green Gully faithful

It isn't pusing the envelope to say that Green Gully are overwhelmingly expected to win but it doesn't feel like a smart move to take those short odds.

Green Gully aren't making life easy having lost 3 of their last 5 games as hosts. To add to their concerns, chances on goal are noticeable by their absence. They've scored just 0.8 goals on average over their last 5 home matches. They'll be expected to improve that number in this game. They will also need to shore up their defence. They conceded three or more goals in 3 of their last 5 home matches. So perhaps the upset is not ludicrous.

Eastern Lions are frequently showing what they are capable of. Don't underestimate that they've scored at least once in 5 of their last 6 away fixtures and to have any chance of success they'll be desperate to add to that average. Totally dismissed by most observers, the visitors will need to do something special here. Conceding an average of only 1.0 goals across their latest 3 games could have an impact on this game. They've been keeping things tidy at the back.

It's possible that things fail to get going because of the obvious favouritism for Green Gully. It isn't a strong view and it might not appeal to everyone but the odds-against for the Yes BTTS bet could be a fun small stakes side bet.
