- Devonport Strikers (W) have won all 15 of their Tasmania Women's Super League matches this season.
- Launceston City (W) have lost 7 of their 14 TWSL matches this term, sitting in the bottom half of the table.
Devonport’s dominance to continue
Devonport have dominated the 2026 Tasmania Women's Super League, winning all 15 of their fixtures to date, scoring 68 and conceding just 5. It has been a run of complete dominance. They've averaged 4.5 goals per match in the TWSL this term, and their defence is the stingiest in the competition by a mile.
Tom Ballantyne's side have been playing a front-foot, high-press game, a style that has often suited them well, with the structure of their 3-4-1-2 formation allowing them to maintain pressure. They're the clear favourites here, and a win to nil looks the best way to get some value out of backing the clear favs.
Launceston face a tough ask
Launceston City haven't been anywhere near the same standard as Devonport this year, but they've shown some character to sit in the lower half of the TWSL table with 3 wins, 4 draws and 7 losses from 14 matches played, scoring 20 goals and conceding 41.
Alex Aylott's side have been set up in a more pragmatic manner, with compact lines, selective pressing and counter chances usually allowing them to stay in games. Chelsea Wing has been the defensive anchor, while Olivia Bekeleski and Hollie Jones have been the live wire options up top.
Mia Judd is Launceston's most impressive player, a live wire up top with a killer instinct, something she's demonstrated in the last rounds of the season with a 90th minute winner against Taroona.
A clash of styles
This matchup represents a clash of two very different styles. Devonport play a passing, possession-based game, with lots of pressing and movement off the ball, while Launceston set up to sit deep and try to pinch chances.
Devonport are the absolute favourites here, and the 7.0 line on 'unders' for this game suggests the market expects a goalfest, rather than a cagey affair. But given how this matchup has gone so far this year, and the fact that Devonport are the table toppers, it's hard to imagine the Strikers taking the game to the visitors and holding them off if they can break the early press.
We're going for the Devonport win to nil market here, as it fits the form, the head to head and the ladder perfectly. If the Strikers can get the ball and control the tempo early, this could be another long night for Launceston City, and a 3-0 or 4-0 win seems the most natural score line.
