Launceston and Glenorchy the venue for NPL games tonight


There are two NPL Tasmania games this evening.

At KGV Park, Clarence United are the home team as they take on Glenorchy Knights at 8pm, while in Launceston. Launceston City host Riverside Olympic at Bucky Land Rover Park at 6.30pm.

Clarence appear to have no hope against the Knights, but football is unpredictable and that is what makes it so exciting.

The Knights will be smarting after two straight defeats, results which have dampened the euphoria the club experienced after returning to the top flight.

They lost 3-1 to Olympia and 4-0 to Devonport.  These are two of the leading contenders for the title, so Knights needed that reality check.

They need to win this one, though, to get back on track.

They have suffered from the absences of Callum Brown and Tyler Harrison and they would certainly be boosted if these two are fit and can play tonight.

Clarence have been hammered in their two games to date.  They have conceded 17 goals and have yet to score themselves.

This does not augur well for their chances tonight.

Launceston City and Riverside may well play out a draw tonight.

Neither has a single point after two outings and they have identical goal-differences of minus 5.

Noah Mies seems to be City’s main weapon in attack and he has scored their two goals to date.

This should be a hard-fought contest but there may not be many goals in it.
