- Edgeworth Eagles have won four of their last five matches including their last four at home.
- Belmont Swansea United FC have won two of their last five, losing three, and have not won on their last away game to Edgeworth.
- Edgeworth have gone 8-0-1 at home this season in the Northern New South Wales 2026, scoring 18 goals in nine games, while Belmont have gone 4-3-3 on the road, conceding 20 goals in 10 games.
Eagles are soaring at the top of the tree
Edgeworth Eagles arrive here in great form on the back of four straight wins, and four wins from their last five, but they face a Belmont Swansea United FC side who have been on the wane of late.
The Eagles are 4th in the Northern New South Wales 2026 on 32 points from 18 games, while the visitors are 5th on 32 from 19 and this is a top-six clash with the two sides even on points, so a result either way could change the complexion of the table.
The Eagles are a possession-based side, they are compact and they want to dictate the play, but they also have the pace to hurt teams when they win the ball back and have a little more time. The visitors are much more of a fast-paced unit, they win the ball and move it forward quickly, they create chances via wide play and they like to apply pressure on the opposition's defence when they're out of possession to force turnovers.
Head-to-head is evenly matched
With Belmont's away form waning - they have just one win in their last four - and Edgeworth's red-hot form, it makes sense to back the home side as the narrow 2.01 favourites, ahead of Belmont at 2.88 and the draw at 3.9. They have won their last two, both at home, seeing off Kahibah FC 2-1 and Newcastle Olympic 2-0, so they know how to close out games.
Belmont are a very good side, but they have lost their last three games, two of which were away defeats to Newcastle Olympic (5-2) and Kahibah (3-1), so there is a chance for Edgeworth to steal this one.
There is a good chance for goals here, however, as the sides have played three times in the last 12 months with a victory apiece and a 4-3 win for Belmont at home in the most recent edition three months ago. Belmont have played with plenty of freedom this season and Edgeworth have scored 18 goals in their nine home games, so the 1.37 about over 2.5 goals is a decent value bet. In the same vein, both teams to score at 1.37 is another way to ride the wave of the game's flow.
The hosts look best placed to edge this one, but Belmont's pace and energy should ensure a lively and possibly end-to-end game.
