Head to Head

This season, it has been all about which side is hosting this clash. APIA won 2-0 at home, while the Stallions won 4-1 when they hosts the match. If their past few clashes are anything to go by, then the Stallions will be confident of winning this one.

Marconi Stallions Form

The Stallions come into this one following a strong 3-1 win over Northbridge Bulls on the road. This match saw them bounce back from a 2-0 loss to their next opponents, although it is worth noting that seven of their last eight matches have been on the road, while their last five matches in a row have been away from home. The fact they have won four of these eight away games is impressive, and they will relish the chance to play at home for the first time since June 25.

With their season having all come down to this, the Stallions will be right up for this match. While it will not be a straightforward game by any means, it is a clash the home side will feel they have all the tools to claim victory in.

APIA Leichhardt Form

APIA have been very inconsistent over the last few weeks. In their last seven, they have tasted victory once, while they have drawn three games and lost three games. Importantly, their only victory came against their next opponents, but this was on their own turf. APIA have been involved in low scoring matches of late, with two or less goals scored in seven of their last 10, so we do not expect a lot of goals.

With only three wins on the road all season, APIA really have to pull something out of the bag if they are to gain victory. However, with only one win in their last five away games, we worry for them.

Verdict

Marconi Stallions v APIA Leichhardt
