Even though Manly United will be the away side in this matchup, we do not expect them to go down in defeat. We recommend betting on Manly United to win or draw in the Double Chance market, where a win or a draw will win the bet.
Manly United does have its share of flaws, but UNSW has also looked quite vulnerable of late, and not even being at home might be enough for them to avoid dropping points to Manly United.
Our prediction is: Under 2.5 goals in the match
