No respite for woeful North Star
North Star look set for another home defeat on Saturday against Redlands United as the two teams' styles and recent results line up for an away win. North Star are in dire form, with three straight home losses heading into this clash, and they will need to overcome a Redlands United team that have been in better form of late.
The home team are 10th in the Queensland Premier League 2026 with 11 points from 16 games, while Redlands United are 8th on 21 points, Redlands have the edge in the table. North Star's record in the Queensland Premier League 2026 at home is one win and six defeats from seven attempts and that does not offer much hope to them going into this one.
Redlands have the bite to win this one
These two teams have contrasting styles and that sets up an interesting chess match, with North Star preferring to play patient, possession football, they like to build up in a structured way, they like to keep the ball and they don't like to get caught in a game of chaos, where they have to chase the ball.
Redlands United have more of an attacking identity, they're more vertical and they are better equipped to make the most of their moments of transition to exploit the high-tempo bursts of pace and intensity. Redlands have three wins and two defeats from their last five games and they arrive at North Star on the back of a 5-0 victory over Ipswich FC and a 4-1 away win at Holland Park Hawks. They should like their chances of winning this game.
The stats lean heavily towards the away team
North Star have conceded 15 in their seven home league games this term. Redlands United have also conceded 15 goals on the road in the Queensland Premier League 2026, averaging 1.88 goals conceded per game on their travels, so the door will be open for them here. Redlands United have three wins, a draw and four losses from eight away games this year, so they should travel with confidence. Both teams to score looks a strong lean to Yes at 1.31, while Over 2.5 goals at 1.29 looks a decent price considering that is where the head-to-head is leaning. Back Redlands United to win at 2.09, North Star are 2.64 and the draw is 4.1, with the head-to-head record heavily favouring the away side. Redlands won this game 5-0 in the Queensland Premier League 2026 three months ago.
