- South East United have two wins and three defeats from their last five matches.
- Launceston United have one win, one draw and three defeats from their last five.
- The last time these two met in NPL Tasmania 2026, the 6-4 away win for South East United was a total cracker.
Hosts are the most likely winner
South East United have 12 points from 15 matches, a return that puts them seventh in NPL Tasmania 2026, while Launceston United have five points from 13 games and they're ninth, so the home side are better placed on the ladder.
South East are in transition and it shows in their results, which have seen them win two and lose three of their last five. Launceston have been in a slump however, with their results and position in the league suggesting they're a slightly weaker team.
Launceston could be good for a goal
South East United have three wins and four defeats from seven home games in NPL Tasmania 2026, but their 21 goals conceded at home shows they can be got at.
Launceston United have drawn two and lost three of their five away trips in NPL Tasmania 2026, averaging 0.60 goals per game away from home, a return that points to a blunt attack.
Their most recent games have seen them lose 1-0 away to Launceston City, beat South Hobart at home by the same score, before losing 2-0 away to Devonport City. It's a sequence of results that is all over the place and Launceston look fragile as a result.
An end-to-end fixture is on the cards
South East United are an attack-first, transition-focused team that plays directly and are ready to get on the front foot at every opportunity. Launceston United are more pragmatic and organisation-first and will want to stay compact and nick moments where they can. It's a recipe for a open game.
The hosts are 1.85 favourites here, ahead of Launceston United at 3.17 and the draw at 4.05, which may be fair enough, but we're steering clear of the match result markets as we don't think a side with 0.60 away goals per game can be trusted on the road.
Over 2.5 goals at 1.25 and Both Teams To Score - Yes at 1.28 are two selections that point to goals and a slightly more open game than the league standings suggest could be on the horizon.
South East United have two wins in their last three home games and they can make the most of their home turf to cause problems for Launceston United, who have failed to win in their last two away matches. However, the last fixture between these two was a 6-4 away win for South East United and while the hosts are the likeliest winner on Sunday, this looks like a game where Launceston United could get on the scoresheet.
