I don’t expect a strong defensive performance here since both teams were weak in their previous, which allowed them to concede. Therefore, I expect both teams' attacking players to find it easy to slide to the net here, and I predict a high score at the end of the match. However, since the home team have failed to secure a win in their previous five matches, meanwhile the visiting team were able to tie in their previous matchup. I will back the visiting team to build on their previous performance. Therefore, I expect a close win or settle for a tie.
