­Otago Volts vs Canterbury Kings Prediction

Otago Volts finished at the bottom of the pool last year having won just two out of their ten league matches and they will be hoping to turn things around this time. They may have the benefit of playing at home but they will also be aware of the fact that they have faced defeats three times in their last four matches at this ground. Canterbury Kings performed better than the Volts last year, finishing fourth on the points table with four wins and five losses. They boast a mighty record against their opponents whom they have beaten in each of their previous five meetings. While Otago do have some quality players on their roster, we feel that Canterbury are better placed to win this match.

Final Verdict: Back Canterbury Kings to beat Otago Volts at 1.66 with Betway, 1.72 with Bet365 and 1.73 with Betfair.
