Prediction
Both sides are coming off big losses and will be looking to get back on the winners table. This is another difficult game to pick, but the home side will come in as the favourites.
The South East Melbourne Phoenix decided to leave some of the poor Wildcats shooters open in their loss to Perth and they paid the price. They won’t want to do that against the Hawks, as the Hawks have many players that can hit the three ball.
Both sides are looking for the win, but the Hawks are at home and will fancy themselves to bounce back.
Prediction – Illawarra Hawks (Win) ⭐
