Backing Broadmeadow Magic FC
The odds reflect the situation here, with Broadmeadow Magic FC Reserves 1.51 favourites to beat Weston Workers Bears FC Reserves this Sunday, while Weston are 4.69 and the draw is 4.45. We'll back the home side to win at a shade of odds-on, but we think Weston can nick a goal to make this interesting.
Broadmeadow's coaching staff have clearly got this reserve side playing on the same page, particularly in the attacking third, which has seen them score 16 goals in their last five matches. They are in good form after smashing Belmont Swansea Reserves 6-0 on the road and winning 3-2 away at Adamstown Rosebud Reserves.
Weston are a bit more structured in possession, playing in more compact lines and with an ability to press well enough to keep themselves in games. This could be a clash of tempos as Weston will attempt to slow Broadmeadow down and pinch a goal, but Broadmeadow want to pin them back and expose the space in the final third.
Weston's reserves should still hold enough of a threat to nick a goal here as they still have a dangerous central striker and late runners who can hurt teams on the counter-attack. They beat Edgeworth Eagles Reserves 4-0 at home and Kahibah Reserves 5-1 on the road during their current five-match competitive run, so they can still pack a punch.
Broadmeadow currently sit above Weston on the Northern NSW NPL Reserves table on 25 points from 16 matches compared to 19 from 15, so they come into this clash with a better platform to build from. The home team have had the better of this head-to-head encounter since 2020, winning seven of ten overall with three losses and no draws, including a 2-1 win in the latest meeting, so our preference is for a Broadmeadow win.
The draw odds are attractive, but the form of the hosts and their good recent record in this fixture just about tips the balance in their favour. The correct score that makes the most appeal is a 2-1 Broadmeadow victory as we expect the visitors to get a few chances and potentially score.
