Home side should have enough to take the win
Gladesville Ryde Magic have enough attacking spark to see off a misfiring Camden Tigers in a game of local pride that could have high intensity and a few goals on Saturday. Ryan French has been the spark for Gladesville this season, providing assists and scoring goals on a regular basis over the last few games. Harry Skotadis, Daniel Mahoney, Liam Gurner and Ewan Perrott have all chipped in with important goals this season as well and Gladesville have the advantage of having a number of different attacking threats to call on against the Camden Tigers.
Stavros Palapanis is a deadly weapon from the penalty spot, scoring a late winner in their 3-1 victory over South Coast Flame on Saturday. Chris Gaitatzis has done a superb job with his young side, who play with a technical style and build the ball out of the back third to the thirds. The Gladesville manager is a youth developer first and foremost but his side can really play football and press with intensity when required.
Camden are a more compact and pragmatic unit and have tried to play a direct and controlled style. They have tried to be solid at the back and get men forward on the break, but in the last few weeks their defensive structure has seemed to break down.
Camden Tigers are in a deep hole
Camden have lost four of their last five games, three by more than one goal and need to get points on the board at Gladesville if they are to have any chance of avoiding relegation. A win for the hosts would see them move a few places closer to mid-table safety while Camden, in 15th and last, remain in deep trouble.
Leandro Carle and Leandro Guzman are the most consistent attacking players for Camden, who tend to look for Ramiro Soto to deliver when they have a penalty. Both have scored in the past three matches and featured in the match reports, but the Tigers are not creating or taking their chances well of late.
Gaitatzis' style of play seems well suited to playing on the counter against compact teams. Camden's pragmatic approach also suits them when they are not taking any risks, which has been the case in May. Their recent results have seen them concede heavily and struggle to find the net, and they seem to be running out of steam in the second half of their games.
Both teams to score - Yes, is available at 1.34 here because that market is heavily favoured, but we can make a case for both clubs to score in this fixture given both teams have scored in the most recent three contests. Both have had a couple of games where they have been unable to break the other's defence down, but Gladesville's attack has been more consistent and their defence better. Camden's need for points and dismal record of late means we are sticking with the hosts to gain the three points in what could be a lively contest.
