South Melbourne and Preston Lions meet on Sunday, Jul 19 at 7:15 AM in the NPL Victoria.
South Melbourne come into this fixture struggling badly (0W 4L in last 5). Preston Lions, meanwhile, arrive in good form (3W 0D 2L recently) — actually the better-performing side in recent weeks.
History strongly favours South Melbourne here — they've won 4 of 5 previous meetings against Preston Lions. Their last encounter ended in Preston Lions won 0–3. These two tend to produce goals — averaging 4.8 per game in recent meetings.
Verdict: Preston Lions's quality should tell even on the road. South Melbourne will push, but the visitors have too much class. Preston Lions to win.
