Edgeworth Eagles - Maitland FC predictions and free betting tips [19/06/2024]

Greetings to all sports fans! On 19 June 2024 at 08:00 GMT, the 11th round match of the Australian NPL Northern New South Wales will take place, where Edgeworth Eagles will face Maitland FC on their home turf.

Edgeworth Eagles

The home team, as of the 12th round, have secured the 4th spot in the Northern New South Wales NPL standings, earning 23 points (7 wins, 2 draws, 3 losses). They have scored 24 goals and conceded only 9 (the best defensive record in the league). In their last 5 league fixtures, they have displayed phenomenal form with 5 straight wins. This hot streak has propelled them back into the top 5, from which teams qualify for the playoffs. Currently riding a wave of success, the team is keen to continue their winning ways and further cement their playoff position.

Maitland FC

The visitors appear to be winding down their season, though complacency is not an option yet. Through 13 matches, they have accumulated 15 points, with 4 wins, 3 draws, and 6 losses. Their 7-point cushion from the relegation zone offers no guarantees of league survival, given there are 9 rounds left. Across these 13 matches, they have netted 18 goals but conceded 24. Recent form is concerning: 3 losses and a draw in their last 4 fixtures. The team needs to pull together to avoid their comfortable gap from the drop zone evaporating.

Head-to-Head

In their last head-to-head clash on 15 July 2023, the guests convincingly defeated today's hosts 4-0 on the road.

Match Prediction: Edgeworth Eagles vs Maitland FC

Despite head-to-head statistics favouring the visitors, with the hosts failing to win any of their last 4 confrontations, current form, quality of play, a 7-match winning streak, and motivation tilt the balance towards the home side. Edgeworth Eagles are already determined to fight for the playoffs, further boosted by the desire to break their poor run against this opponent. The Eagles have looked very confident recently. I back Edgeworth Eagles on a handicap.
