High-rolling Lions are on a high
Bankstown City Lions have hit top gear with four straight victories and have won four of their last five league games to enter this game in red-hot form.
The hosts sit in fifth place in the New South Wales League 1 table with 12 points from seven games, the same points total as 6th-placed visitors Macarthur Rams.
A classic David vs Goliath contest
Bankstown City Lions play a fast-paced, attack first style of football which relies heavily on exploiting wide areas and transitioning quickly. They’ve won two and lost two of their four home league games so far, conceding ten goals in the process.
Macarthur Rams, on the other hand, prefer a more measured approach. They will not give up possession easily and will try to control the game by setting up a structured defence and releasing their attacking players with a license to exploit space.
Punters are in for a treat
The contrast between the two sides makes this game a classic ‘Match of the Round’ game in the words of Football NSW. With so much riding on the game, we’re expecting a closely contested affair which will likely be decided by small margins.
Bankstown City Lions are favourites with the bookies with a price of 1.84, while the visitors are available at 3.44. We’re backing the hosts to get the win in this one as they’re in great form and are playing at home, but the price on the ‘Both teams to score: Yes’ market is also a big steal at 1.44.
