Hume City vs South Melbourne Preview

The two NPL Victoria rivals clash with a place in the cup semi-finals at stake. With some much on the line for both sides, I'm backing an edgy affair with under 2.5 goals and for South Melbourne to take the victory.

Head To Head

South Melbourne are unbeaten in eight of the last nine meetings between the teams and recently edged out Hume City in the NPL Victoria semi-finals, prevailing 1-0 after extra-time.

Hume City Form

Hume finished fifth on the NPL Victoria ladder this season, winning 15 of their 26 games.

They got the better of Heidelberg United on penalties in the quarter-finals, but suffered a 1-0 loss after extra-time against South Melbourne in the semi-finals.

Hume haven't conceded a goal in advancing to the Australia Cup quarter-finals, crushing Darwin City 6-0 before registering a 1-0 victory over Melbourne Srbija in the Round of 16.

South Melbourne Form

South Melbourne finished six points clear at the top of the NPL Victoria ladder, winning 19 of their 26 games and losing just four times.

However, South Melbourne didn't emerge with the premiership, going down 1-0 in the Grand Final against Oakleigh Cannons last weekend.

Esteban Quintas' side took the scalp of A-League side Wellington Phoenix 1-0 in the Australia Cup Round of 32 and progressed into the quarter-finals by edging out Olympic FC 3-2 after extra-time.

Verdict

Hume City v South Melbourne

These two played in another big match in the NPL semi-finals not long ago and South Melbourne prevailed 1-0 in extra-time. I'm backing another low-scoring win for the away side, with some value on a 1-0 correct score.

Under 2.5
