Canberra Olympic hasn't practically strengthened their roster since last season. In that sense, their current second place is only temporary because of the tight schedule at the start of the season. Moreover, the team already had two big defeats, which eloquently showed their weaknesses against the best teams in the region.
Monaro finished the previous season in a solid fourth place. Now they have signed a couple of defensive players, and this is likely to allow them to claim prizes. The start of the season was quite expected, so we are waiting for a consistent performance.
Although the match is away for Monaro, the difference in individual level will help them not lose. Their chances to win this match are clearly underestimated.
Our prediction: Monaro double chance. We recommend the “X2” bet, odds 1.53
