Rockdale to come good against a struggling St George
Rockdale Ilinden FC have been in mixed form of late (W2, D1, L2), but their recent away performances suggest they can roll over struggling St. George Saints on Saturday. Paul Dee's men have won two, drawn zero and lost just one of their last three on the road (W2, D0, L1) and they should have the quality to take the three points away from St. George Sportsground.
The visitors have been extremely reliable on their travels in NPL New South Wales 2026, winning six, drawing two and losing just four of 12 matches. Rockdale have conceded just 15 goals in that time, which is a clear indicator of their solidity and should be enough to see them to the finish line in this fixture.
St. George Saints are in poor nick and have won just one of their last five (L4), but there's a clear disparity between the two teams here in the odds. The hosts are 4.33 and Rockdale are 1.68. St. George have won just three of 10 home matches in NPL New South Wales 2026, scoring ten goals in total, and they've been well beaten in the last two meetings with the visitors.
Side with Dee’s boys
The Rockdale side is clearly the most attractive bet for this game, but there's a little bit of wiggle room in the market to suggest that we could have a bit of a game on our hands.
The recent results tell us that Rockdale have played some excellent football away from home and Dee's side should have the nous to keep things under control for long periods. They're a patient team in possession, but can pounce on the counter.
St George's setup is compact, defence first and built to close lanes and slow down the game, so they'll look to get Rockdale scrapping with them all afternoon. If they can nick a goal, then an away win with both teams to score is the way to go. Over 2.5 goals at 1.62 and both teams to score at 1.55 look great value.
