We should expect both teams to be fresh and ready for this match, as there is some time since both teams last played. Let's have a look at how the teams are doing!
South Hobart form and stats
South Hobart have collected 6 points from their Npl Tasmania home games so far after 2-0-3. Two defeats in a row at home hurts for Hobart, their manager K. Morton and the supporters. There are certain expectations for improvement.

Clarence Zebras form and stats
The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Clarence Zebras so far with only 5 points returning home. The records show 1-2-3 (win-draw-lose).

It might be tough going out on the road again for Clarence, facing their second straight away game. Especially as the previous game, ended with a defeat 1-2 versus Devonport City (placed 1st). Preceding that game, the 2-5 loss visiting Kingborough Lions's place.
With an average of more than two away goals per league game away, Clarence are regular goalscorers on their travels. The Clarence defense is as useful as an ashtray on a motorcycle, having conceded 18 goals in their away games.
