Bentleigh Greens take on the visitors South Melbourne in the round 22 match of Australina NPL Victoria. The match will be played on Saturday, June 15th.
Bentleigh Greens are having a terrible season, where they are fighting to avoid relegation. They are currently in the third-to-last position in the table, with only one point above the relegation zone. In the 21st round, Bentleigh Greens have suffered 15 defeats, which is a lot. It is highly likely that the club, which became a league champion just four years ago, will experience their 16th loss in the upcoming round. Out of their ten home matches, Bentleigh Greens have lost eight, and in their last five league games at home, they managed to earn only one point with four defeats against Oakleigh Cannons (1-3), Melbourne Knights (0-1), Avondale FC (0-4), and even Moreland City (1-3).

South Melbourne, although they have dropped slightly recently, still remain in the top three teams of the championship, trailing the leader by only six points and one point behind Oakleigh Cannons in second place. In the 20 league matches, South Melbourne has achieved 16 victories. Specifically in away matches, this team has been losing points rarely lately. In their last five away games, they have suffered only one setback, which was a draw, and secured four victories against Moreland City (2-0), Melbourne Knights (2-1), Oakleigh Cannons (1-0), and St. Albans Saints (1-0).
When the third-placed team, which until recently was on par with the league leader, faces one of the main underdogs of the season, the favorite is evident. Currently, Bentleigh Greens and South Melbourne are teams of completely different levels. The difference in class is clearly demonstrated by the distance between them in the table: the hosts have 14 points, while the guests have 50. Additionally, Bentleigh Greens is the worst team in the league when playing at home, while South Melbourne has been impressive in their away matches recently. Moreover, the head-to-head statistics heavily favor the favorite, who has been stronger in four out of their last five meetings and in the previous three consecutive encounters. For me, the choice for the bet is obvious - Away Win.
Prediction for the match: South Melbourne to win.
