Canterbury vs Northern Knights Chance of Winning

Canterbury has had an underwhelming campaign as they have failed to replicate the form of last season. They started off the campaign with four defeats in the first five matches but managed to turn things around in the second half of the campaign. Canterbury need a win to stay in contention for the playoffs this season.

Unlike their opponents, Northern Knights have been the most consistent team in the tournament as they have just two losses in the eight matches and are currently second on the table. A win in this game would seal a play off spot this season. As per our calculations, Northern Knights are favourites in the upcoming game.

Canterbury vs Northern Knights Betting Odds

Northern Knights to have a better opening partnership than Canterbury

Northern Knights and Canterbury head into this crucial game after both sides have had contrasting form this season. Last season Canterbury made the finals but have looked a shadow of themselves this season. They have managed just three wins thus far and are currently sixth on the table. They need a win in this game to stay in contention for the final playoff spot. On the other hand, Northern Knights have had an incredible campaign thus far. Maximum points in the final two matches can see them topple Central Districts at the top of the table. Both sides went head to head earlier this season and Canterbury won the game but it was Northern Knights who had a better opening stand which makes us believe they would once again end up with a better opening partnership in the upcoming game.
