Both teams are in similar form ahead of this meeting. They have drawn their previous two games, respectively. Although, Lamontville pose to be in a slightly better form.

The previous eight meetings have ended with under 2.5 goals. Not expecting this to be any different because they have poor scoring form at the moment.
