Northcote City welcome Manningham United Blues on Friday, Jul 17 at 12:30 PM in a Victoria Premier League One fixture that's tighter on paper than the positions suggest — just 2 points split them in the table.
Northcote City come into this fixture in mixed form (2W 0D 3L). Manningham United Blues travel struggling badly (1W 3L in last 5), which may hand the initiative to the hosts. Northcote City head into this on the back of a defeat, while Manningham United Blues arrive off a win — momentum clearly with the visitors.
In 10 previous meetings, Northcote City lead 5–3 with 2 draws. Their last encounter ended in Manningham United Blues won 0–2. These two tend to produce goals — averaging 3.4 per game in recent meetings.
Verdict: This looks an evenly matched contest. Home advantage gives Northcote City a slight edge, but Manningham United Blues are capable of causing problems. A draw would be a fair result.
