The visiting Gold Coast Knights side should be favourites in this visit to SC Wanderers, as the away team holds a 18 point advantage from their ten league games this season.
Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.
SC Wanderers form and stats
SC Wanderers have played three Npl Queensland home games so far, perhaps enough to set expectations for the season. In that case, only 0 points from these matches could be a signal of rough times ahead. Three consecutive losses here is hard to swallow for the home team. Both players, staff and the home crowd are desperate to get something from this match.
No payout for SC Wanderers in their previous match, an away game at Queensland Lions that ended in defeat 1-4. A strong away win before that one, visiting Eastern Suburbs Brisbane and winning 4-2.
Wanderers has scored 4 league goals at home this season, in 3 matches. Wanderers's defense is seriously deficient as 12 goals have been conceded in these matches.
Gold Coast Knights form and stats
Playing away, Gold Coast Knights, who have the most clean sheets (5) in Npl Queensland, have won 3 games, drawn 1 and suffered 0 defeats in the Npl Queensland this season.
Knights's last game ended in a draw, the home match versus Brisbane City that finished 2-2. That result followed a home victory 1-0 versus Brisbane Roar II.
The prediction for this game is lots of goals as Knights alone have scored more than three on average in their league games away (12 from 4 played). The Gold Coast Knights defense is a tough nut to crack, having conceded less than half a goal per away game on average (1 goal in 4 games).
