👉 Our prediction is: Manly United win or draw

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

From what they have shown thus far this season, UNSW and Manly United both tend to play quite defensive styles and like to keep things tight in midfield.

As a result, we predict the total going under 2.5 goals to be the most attractive betting option for this upcoming match.
