- Mindil Aces are unbeaten in their last 2 games, including a 3-1 win at Port Darwin.
- Hellenic Athletic Club are still searching for their first win of the season, and have taken 2 points from 5 games so far.
Mindil Aces favourites for the local bragging rights
Mindil Aces sit 6th in the Northern Territory Darwin Premier League 2026 after collecting 10 points from their opening 7 games. Their form has been a little patchy, and includes 2 wins, 1 draw and 2 defeats from their last 5 matches, however, they do come into this match unbeaten in their last 2, after a 3-1 win away at Port Darwin last weekend.
Hellenic Athletic Club are having a tough time of things this season, and sit 8th in the table, having taken just 2 points from their first 5 games of the campaign. Hellenic are without a win this season, but have been finding ways to stay competitive, with 0 wins, 2 draws and 3 defeats from their last 5.
A high-scoring affair should be expected
This is a rivalry game with extra spice, and it will be an interesting clash of styles between a team that will sit deep, are compact, disciplined and dangerous from counter attacks and set-pieces, and a team that will throw numbers forward, with their full-backs pushing on, and who will play a high tempo, attacking brand of footy with regular transitions.
Despite Mindil Aces’ impressive head-to-head record against Hellenic, they are the odds-on favourites at 1.54, with the visitors coming in as 4.55 dark horses. We will be siding with the hosts to take the spoils once again.
Over 2.5 goals is the favourite selection in this fixture, and with good reason, as this matchup should be open, and should see plenty of goals at both ends. Mindil Aces are conceding an average of 2.00 goals per match at home, while Hellenic have lost all 3 of their away matches, and average a meagre 0.67 goals scored, and 3.00 conceded on the road.
Hellenic’s away-day blues
Hellenic Athletic Club have failed to win their last 3 away trips to Mindil Aces, and that is a worrying statistic for manager Dean Hatzis. Hellenic have not won a game this season, let alone on the road, and we see their woes continuing on Saturday.
