Northern Knights vs Central Districts Betting Odds

Northern Knights to have a better opening partnership than Central Districts

Central Districts and Northern Knights head into this game after both sides have struggled for consistency this season. Central Districts have had a dismal start to the campaign as they were winless after three games which includes two defeats. Since then they have managed to turn things around as Central Districts have two wins in the last three games and are currently fourth on the table. On the other hand, Northern Knights only have one win thus far in six matches and are currently sixth on the table. Both teams are desperate for a win in this game to stay in contention for a place in the playoffs. Both teams went head to head earlier this season and Northern Knights won the game and they also have a better opening partnership which makes us believe they would once again have a better opening partnership in the upcoming game.
