Southside includes many solid players in its roster, mostly from Australia. They do not rely on foreigners, like many other teams. However, there is still one strong American in their roster. They are impressive under the rim, which is rare in this league.
Melbourne is an inconsistent team, and not all its players are worthy to be in the main five. We believe the international stars are not good enough to help the team enter the top 3 at the end of this competition. The lack of quality players in the rotation is the major disadvantage.
Southside is a home team with a good selection of players this season. We expect the hosts to win by 5-6 points.
Our prediction: Southside to win. We recommend the “1 Win” bet, odds 2.2
