Bitesize Prediction: Dandenong City vs South Melbourne – 04/07/25

Competition: NPL Victoria

Market: Both teams to score

Odds: 4/7 @ 1xBet

Hoping to find a route into the play-off places on Friday morning, Dandenong City will welcome South Melbourne to the Frank Holohan Soccer Complex.

Starting with the hosts, while Dandenong might have got May underway in the midst of what was a stellar purple patch, Nick Tolios’ men have drastically failed to find any kind of stability over recent times. Despite eventually snatching an action-packed 2-2 stalemate away at Heidelberg last time out, Hajduk have recorded just a single win from any of their previous six NPL Victoria appearances. Getting June underway with a 3-0 drumming at the hands of Hume City, Friday’s hosts have also shown some extended defensive issues. Including a 2-1 loss against bitter local rivals Dandenong Thunder last month, Tolios’ side have put just a single clean sheet on the board from any of their previous eight consecutive outings – a run that stems back to May 4th. It should also be highlighted, the play-off contenders have seen four of their last five showdowns on home soil finish with both teams finding the net.

As for the visitors, making an immediate return to winning ways last week as they clinched a 2-1 victory at home against Hume City, South Melbourne are enjoying what has become an extended flurry. While the Hellas might open Friday’s matchup sat seven points adrift of finding a route into the top-six, they are dreaming of the chance to mount a late charge. Turning what has been a real corner over the past six weeks, Friday’s guests have lost just one of their previous six NPL Victoria appearances. Getting June underway with a Staller 4-2 win against Melbourne Victory’s U21s, South Melbourne have found a recent clinical edge in the final third. Including a 2-1 victory against the Preston Lions last month, Sinisa Cohadzic’s men have notched at least a pair of goals in five of their previous six outings. However, with four of their last five appearances finishing with both teams finding the net, we are expecting a similar outcome here.

Bet: Both teams to score at Dandenong City vs South Melbourne 4/7 for Friday’s NPL Victoria matchup @ 1xBet
