The healthy rivalry between the two clubs located smack in the heartland of the City of Vincent is certainly one that attracts much interest not only from the traditional respective fan bases but also from the neutral!
This Sunday’s fixture takes on some further special meaning. Perth are out to do the 2011 double over Athena after their 4-1 victory at Litis Stadium in April and consolidate a top 2 spot. While Athena needs to string a run wins after the break to be in a position to claim a finals spot come September.
Athenista caught up with past President Constantine Poulios for his interpretation on the head to head and form statistics pouring out of global betting sites these days like www.futbol24.com.
His thoughts follow below.
This weekend’s clash between Perth SC and Floreat Athena promises to be an exciting clash as always when the teams meet at 3pm on Sunday afternoon @ Dorrien Gardens. Athena is one of the few teams to boast a good record of away wnis in the league over the years and Perth has to go back to June 2008 to find the last time they won a home league match against Athena !
The probability of a draw is also quite low with Perth not having played in a draw when at home in 2011, while Athena have drawn twice away from home in 2011 with draws against Sorrento and the Western Knights earlier in the season.
There is also the high probability that we will see quite a few goals with the last 7 league meetings seeing 31 goals at an amazing average of 4.43 goals per match.
Despite losing 4-1 in the reverse fixture earlier in the season, I’m tipping an Athena win to continue the Goddess’ good form at Dorrien Gardens.
