Our prediction is: Lake Macquarie to win the 1st half
Lake Macquarie 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 Valentine a bit of a scare in the early going.
That is why we recommend taking Lake Macquarie to win the first half.
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 Valentine and Lake Macquarie.
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.
