Monaro Panthers vs Yoogali - 13/07/24

Monaro Panthers vs Yoogali Prediction & Preview

Preview

The Riverside Stadium is set to host a thrilling encounter on Saturday, July 13th, as Monaro Panthers welcome Yoogali in the 10th round of the Capital Territory. The hosts, currently sitting 5th in the league with 21 points, will be looking to bounce back from their recent defeat against Canberra FC. Frank Cachia's men have been inconsistent in their last five matches, recording two wins, two losses, and a draw.

Yoogali, on the other hand, are struggling at the bottom of the table with no points to their name. They've suffered five consecutive defeats, conceding an alarming 21 goals in that period. Their most recent outing ended in a 3-0 thrashing at the hands of Tuggeranong United.

The last time these two teams faced each other, Monaro Panthers emerged victorious, winning 2-0 against Yoogali on April 21st, 2024. The hosts have been strong at home, scoring an average of 2 goals per game and conceding just 0.5. In contrast, Yoogali's away form has been abysmal, failing to score in their last five matches on the road while shipping an average of 6 goals.

Monaro Panthers' potent attack, which averages 1.6 goals per game, will be looking to exploit Yoogali's porous defense, which has conceded a staggering 4.2 goals per match. With Monaro Panthers scoring an average of 2 goals at home and Yoogali failing to score on their travels, this could be a long afternoon for the visitors.

Bet

Considering the gulf in class between these two teams, I'd recommend backing a Home Win for Monaro Panthers at odds of 1.08. The hosts' strong home form, combined with Yoogali's dismal away record, makes this a safe bet. While it may not offer the most attractive odds, it's a solid choice for those looking to build their bankroll.
