The APWin team has examined the key betting markets and identified the most valuable opportunities.

Our prediction is: Phoenix Rising win or draw

Even though Phoenix Rising will be the away side in this matchup, we do not expect them to go down in defeat. We recommend betting on Phoenix Rising to win or draw in the Double Chance market, where a win or a draw will win the bet.

Phoenix Rising does have its share of flaws, but Monterey Bay has also looked quite vulnerable of late, and not even being at home might be enough for them to avoid dropping points to Phoenix Rising.

Our prediction is: Phoenix Rising to win the 1st half

Phoenix Rising is a tough opponent to face, particularly away from home. They have enough dangerous attacking weapons to deal some damage up front, while the defence is quite solid as well.

It would not be a shock if they come in and give their hosts Monterey Bay a bit of a scare in the early going.

That is why we recommend taking Phoenix Rising to win the first half.
