1.50Tip and bets
The hosts had a very successful season and won their league, beating the nominal favourites in the final. In this cup draw, the Oakleigh Cannons have already beaten one A-League participant, Sydney, so they may well get on the nerves of a representative of the top division again.
Our betting tip is a handicap (+1) on Oakley Cannons for 1.80
Bet on total
The hosts will probably rely on defense and will count on counterattacks in a match with a stronger opponent. In the last three matches, the Gunners have conceded only one goal, so they will probably be able to competently close down the best players of the opponent. Most likely, more than three goals will not be scored here.
Our prediction is total under 3.5 goals with odds of 1.75
Bet on corners
Based on all of the above, it is clear that we are expecting a low-scoring match, with a minimum number of over-totals being broken.
Our prediction is total under 10.5 corners with odds of 1.96
