- Perth RedStar FC have conceded seven goals in their last five away matches (1.40 per game).
Inconsistent Sorrento are in a rut
Sorrento SC haven't looked like winning anything lately with just two wins in their last ten matches in all competitions. This is an awful run by any measure, but it screams poor form. They have lost four on the trot, including a 2-0 defeat away to Western Knights and a 0-2 home loss to Fremantle City FC. Andres Oliveira has set his side up in a compact, structure-first block that looks to nick chances through wide service or set pieces. The aerial threat and set piece capabilities of their key players will be pivotal as they try to get something out of this game.
RedStar are consistent, steady travellers
Perth RedStar FC come into this game with a much more reliable form book of five wins, three draws and two defeats from their last ten in all competitions. They come into this as the big favourites at 1.57, with Sorrento SC big outsider at 4.93 and the Draw sitting in between at 3.82. RedStar have won three, drawn one and lost one of their five away trips across all competitions. They have only conceded seven times in those five games, which is why they are favoured here. They will need to defend well against a solid, compact home side.
RedStar should run the game but it could get messy
This has a bit of a mismatch feel to it on paper. RedStar are a possession-based side that like to press and circulate the ball, while Sorrento sit deep. That should suit RedStar if they can pin the hosts in their own half, but if Sorrento land the first punch and can catch RedStar on the break, it could be a scrappy game. Callum Salmon's side have the quality in their mobile midfield and in the rotation of their forward line to stretch a packed defensive line and create overloads in the half-spaces. They are the likelier winners and the cleanest wager here is Over 2.5 goals at 1.69 and Both Teams to Score - Yes at 1.71, but RedStar to win away in a goal-filled game.
