The Gold Coast Knights fans aren't used to losing here at Gold Coast Croatia Sports Centre and will expect new points from this game.

Olympic form and stats

Olympic's travelling support has been rewarded for their time and money so far this season, having witnessed Olympic, who have the most scored goals (45) away in Npl Queensland, collect 28 points from their 14 away matches in the Npl Queensland. 9 victories and 1 draw have created these points (and only 4 defeats). It's looking increasingly bleak for Olympic who now has to deal with a four game losing streak. Brisbane City was the last time a defeat was avoided. The travelling fans think it's time that their travel expenses are covered with some points now, as Olympic have lost on their last two travels.

Two away games in a row for Olympic, who will hope to get a better result in this one after losing 2-4 versus Gold Coast Knights in the Npl Queensland. A loss against Brisbane Roar II was the result prior to that, in a home game.

With the home team given a winning probability of about 80% by the bookmakers, any point(s) for the visitors would be a surprise. Checking earlier matches with similar odds with Olympic as the away team, we found two results. Statistics from these were 0 away wins, 0 draws and 2 defeats. The outsiders lost 2 of these games by at least two goals.

The prediction for this game is lots of goals as Olympic alone have scored more than three on average in their league games away (45 from 14 played). In the opposite end, Olympic have conceded 25 goals in their away games.
