Free-scoring Broadmeadow are back at home
Broadmeadow Magic FC Reserves have beaten Weston Workers Bears FC Reserves 5-1 and 2-1 in their last two meetings.
The hosts are the deserved favourites at 1.93, with Weston coming in at 3.04 and the draw at 3.94, but the odds don't reflect the gulf in class between these teams in reserve grade.
The most recent fixture between the clubs, a 28 June Broadmeadow 5-1 Weston victory, probably tells the tale of what to expect in this one. Broadmeadow are near the top of the ladder in the snapshot of the league we see here, while Weston are several places and points behind.
Weston can score and play to keep games open
We expect Broadmeadow to win again on Thursday, but their price is a bit short to back them outright in the match result market given the head-to-head trend of late. Goals are a much better bet here, with Both Teams To Score - Yes, priced at 1.35, and Over 2.5 at 1.33, pointing to another open game.
Broadmeadow head coach Jim Cresnar's team play on the front foot, using aggressive pressing and tight combinations to turn over the ball quickly and create scoring chances with the speed of execution.
Weston's style of play is much more of a possession-first philosophy, where they try to penetrate the flanks with vertical play before slowing the game down when in possession.
With ex-All Whites Leo Bertos working in the coaching structure, Weston can play some good football at times but the results haven't been coming and that's been down to lapses at the back.
The visitors have scored in each of their three league games and conceded in every fixture, so it seems clear that neither defence will be able to contain the opposition's attack in this game.
