There’s no match history between these two teams.
The Otago Nuggets are simply in poor form right now with losses in five of their last seven games and they just allowed 107 points in a blowout loss to the Taranaki Mountainairs. The Otago Nuggets have allowed 100-plus points in three of their last five games overall, which isn’t a good thing entering this contest. The Franklin Bulls are a team that’s still trying to figure things out, but they should be much higher with the confidence considering they’re coming off back-to-back victories and just held the Nelson Giants to 69 points.
I can’t lay big chalk with the Otago Nuggets in their current form. Give me the Bulls and the free buckets.
