South Hobart will
make only one change to the squad which lost to Olympia Warriors on Friday
night when they travel to Lightwood Park today [Wednesday] to face Kingborough
Lions United at 7pm in an NPL Tasmania fixture.
The game had been
scheduled to be played at South Hobart Oval at 6pm, but concerns about the light
led to the change of venue.
The game between the
sides on 19 May will now be switched from Lightwood Park to South Hobart Oval.
The only change to
the squad will be the inclusion of Sam Berezansky, who replaces Alex Walter.
Walter suffered
concussion against Olympia on Friday and was replaced at half-time. He will not be available for another week or
two.
It will be
interesting to see how South Hobart line up for this game.
I expect Adam Gorrie
to move back to his natural right-fullback position after being used in midfield
on Friday to make way for Jack Bowman.
Bowman is normally a
central defender, but he made way for Hugh Ludford, who partnered Rasmus
Philipsen in the centre of defence.
It would not
surprise to see Ludford partner Oscar Thomas at the heart of defence, allowing Philipsen
to move to left-back. This may mean
Bowman is relegated to the bench.
Kingborough will
have their new American/Mexican signing, Horacio Gutierrez Jr, on view for the first
time.
Gutierrez Jr, a 22-year-old creative midfielder, has played for Mississippi Blues FC and FC Dallas El Paso.

Jake Brennan and
Danny Cowen will probably lead the Lions’ attack, while Nick Cuthbertson and
Joel Schuth are likely to be the twin centre-backs.
For South Hobart, it
is vital that they win. Having lost
their opening game 2-1 to Olympia Warriors, they certainly don’t want to fall
as much as 6 points off the pace after two rounds.
Kingborough will
also be desperate to win what is their opening league fixture.
The fact that it is
at home makes a win even more desirable.

If Lions are ever going to beat South tonights the night.
If is a big word. My prediction 4-0 to South.
South have to much experience & quality should win 4-0
Can you ask for entry fee refund? Sorry Boro were ordinary and South only marginally better. At least South have a system and done structure. Boro all over the place with no structure and very little it no idea what to do especially going forward. Struggled to make any consecutive passes or even try to make passes. Long season ahead.
