South Melbourne vs Green Gully Tips

Head to Head

South Melbourne won the return of this fixture in a 2-0 triumph. Prior to this, Green Gully have failed to win any of their previous five matches, with South Melbourne winning two and three games ending in draws.

South Melbourne Form

South Melbourne have won their last two games in a row, with wins over Hume City (3-1) and St Albans (4-0) helping the side to bounce back from a 2-1 loss to Melbourne Knights. The 43 points the side have collected means that South Melbourne are four clear of the Oakleigh Cannons in second. A further victory in this one will only reinforce their credentials as the league's best side.

With eight wins in a row for South Melbourne at home, beating the side on their own patch would be a huge achievement for any side, but we do not think that Green Gully have what it takes to be the first side to take points from South Melbourne.

Green Gully Form

The away side have been very inconsistent of late, with only two wins in their last five. A 1-1 draw with Avondale FC was a fairly good result, although most will cite that Green Gully should have beaten Avondale on their own patch.

Victory in this one could see the side edge to within two points of Port Melbourne Sharks in third, while they will cut the gap between themselves and South Melbourne at the top to just eight points.
