Keep in mind that the prediction on the top of the page is our main tip. In case you are looking for more value picks, you can use our additional predictions below.

👉 Our prediction is: Rivers United to win the 1st half

Rivers United comes into their match with Remo Stars with a lot going for them. Apart from being the superior side based on form and statistics, they also have the added advantage of being at home.

The odds for an outright home win on the 1X2 market are not that appealing, so we recommend taking Rivers United to win the first half to get the most value out of your bet.

👉 Our prediction is: Over 2.5 goals in the match

We strongly suggest taking the total to go over 2.5 goals in this matchup between Rivers United and Remo Stars.

With the high quality of attacking talent on display coupled with the questionable defence of both teams, this bet has a great chance of hitting.
