Melbourne Renegades vs Brisbane Heat Chance of Winning

Melbourne Renegades got off to a great start this year as they won two of the three matches but since then they have lost five of the six games and are currently eighth on the table.

Brisbane Heat have failed to replicate their last season form as they have struggled for consistency thus far. Brisbane Heat have lost each of the last two games and need a win to stay in contention for the final playoff spot. As per our calculations, Brisbane Heat are favourites in the upcoming game.

Melbourne Renegades vs Brisbane Heat Betting Odds

Melbourne Renegades to have a better opening partnership than Brisbane Heat

Brisbane Heat and Melbourne Renegades head into this game after both sides have struggled for consistency and both teams could end up missing the playoffs this season. Melbourne Renegades have had an underwhelming campaign as they only managed to bag three wins and have been knocked out of the tournament. On the other hand, Brisbane Heat headed into the last game against Hobart Hurricanes knowing a win would put them in the box seat to finish fourth and qualify for the playoffs but they ended up losing the game and now even a win in this fixture might not be enough to seal a playoff spot this term. What makes this tip so enticing is the fact Brisbane Heat have conceded a bigger opening partnership in each of the last three matches which makes us believe Melbourne Renegades would have a better opening partnership in the upcoming game.

Brisbane Heat

Historically Melbourne Renegades hold a slight edge in this fixture but they have lost each of the last two matches against Brisbane Heat which is probably why the bookmakers have favoured Brisbane Heat in this game and you should do the same as they would bag maximum points in the upcoming game.
