Devonport City should regain top spot on the NPL Tasmania standings by beating seventh-placed Launceston City today [Saturday].
The
game is at Valley Road, the home of Devonport City, at 4.15pm.
Devonport
lost top spot to Olympia Warriors, who beat Glenorchy Knights 3-1 on Anzac Day.
The
North-West Coast outfit, who are the reigning champions, suffered their first
loss last Monday when they went down 2-1 away to Hobart Zebras at KGV Park.
They
showed serious defensive deficiencies in that game, but they are unlikely to encounter
a powerful attack when they face Launceston City.
City
depend a lot on Noah Mies and if Devonport can muzzle him, they should coast to
victory.
To
complete the round, sixth-ranked Kingborough Lions United host bottom side
Clarence United at 6pm today [Saturday] at Lightwood Park.
Kingborough
have been less than impressive this season but they should be too strong for
Clarence, who have conceded 59 goals this season.
Clarence
have scored just once, and that was from the penalty spot last week when they won
their first match.
They
beat second-last Riverside Olympic 1-0 at home at Wentworth Park to break their
duck.
They
will have gained some confidence from that win, but they will struggle against
the Lions.
