Green Gully vs Port Melbourne Sharks tips and predictions

Port Melbourne Sharks presenting a challenge

With 7 points between them, it's 11th placed Green Gully versus sixth placed Port Melbourne Sharks in this NPL Victoria clash.

This could well be one of those encounters where Port Melbourne Sharks do just enough to get the job done and they're certain to face some resistance from this Green Gully squad.

After some lacklustre performances, the hosts will be looking for a change in attitude. Green Gully have been frustratingly patchy. They've lost 4 of their last 6 matches. They conceded three or more goals in 4 of their last 6 games which lends some additional credibility to the away win.

Port Melbourne Sharks have won 10 of their last 20 trips away. These impressive displays have been underpinned by how clinical they can be in front of goal. They've scored two or more goals in 13 of their last 20 away fixtures and if they deliver their impressive best they can grab hold of proceedings here. However you cut it, it should be a good game and if they give 100% then the away win looks like a good pick. Their recent defensive displays could be a key for them too. They have kept a clean sheet in 9 of their last 19 matches.

It's quite possible this is a match that will simply depend on which side is the first to open their account. Most observers believe that both sides can score as they can both be dangerous in possession. But with the odds-against price on BTTS No that seems the better option here.
