Dulwich Hill F.C. vs Northern Tigers: An interesting clash of styles
Dulwich Hill F.C. will be looking to cause an upset against the New South Wales League 1 leaders, Northern Tigers, when the sides meet at Arlington Oval on Saturday afternoon. This Dulwich Hill F.C. vs Northern Tigers preview represents a fantastic opportunity for Tony Valavanis’ side to move up the table, as a win would see them potentially leap into the top half, whereas a success for the Tigers would tighten their grip on the leadership in NSW League 1.
Dulwich Hill have played well recently, but their inconsistent performances have left them in 11th place in NSW League One with 15 points from 12 matches. The hosts have won two, lost two and drawn one of their last five matches, including a 4-4 draw against Bonnyrigg White Eagles.
Dulwich Hill are typically a fairly balanced side that likes to control the midfield, but their recent games suggest they can push on when required. The visitors, on the other hand, will be expected to put the home team under pressure and make them uncomfortable, as Adam Hett’s high-energy, high-intensity pressing game is designed to force turnovers and catch their opponents off-guard on the counter.
The Tigers’ head-to-head dominance of this fixture in recent years and their current league position will be the main reason why the bookmakers have them down as 1.67 favourites, while Dulwich Hill are 4.00 to pull off the upset, according to the latest Dulwich Hill F.C. vs Northern Tigers odds.
Tigers can be tough to tame
The Tigers have the best record in NSW League 1 so far with 25 points from 12 games, and although they’re in a worrying slump, they will still pose a threat on their day. Hett will be keen for his team to rectify their poor form and the match against Dulwich Hill is the perfect opportunity to turn the corner.
