Rukkas have been my go-to side for goals in the Baller League so far this term, I’ve found their games to be amongst the most entertaining in the Baller League and I think this is another game that can deliver a high scoring encounter.

Rukkas have only won two of their opening six Baller League matches, seeing 45 goals across these matches (7.5 goals per game). They saw exactly seven goals against Wembley Rangers last time out, falling to a 4-3 defeat, and saw nine goals in this fixture last season as VZN came away 6-3 winners.

VZN aren’t playing at the same standard this campaign, and are one of only two sides to only win one game in the Baller League this term - the other being Community FC. They’ve seen 37 goals across their opening six matches (6.16 per game), and should be able to contribute to at least six goals here in a battle at the bottom of the table.

NDL faced their first defeat of the Baller League campaign last time out as they fell to a 6-4 defeat at the hands of N5. Niko Omilana’s side still sit top of the Baller League table despite this loss, having won four of their opening six matches.

NDL look to be the most complete side in Baller League this term, Prime are definitely up there competing with them in terms of quality, and I would expect one of these two sides to secure the Baller League title from this position - and almost certainly expect to see both at finals night in a few months time.

NDL ran out 5-4 winners over Clutch when these sides faced off last season. Clutch have made quite a black and white start to the campaign having won three and lost three of their opening six matches of the season. They have been edging high scoring affairs in recent weeks, but are unlikely to get away with that here against the second top scorers in the division (30).

These sides both look on course to be in the final four at the end of the league season, with both sitting just below the pace setters in Prime and NDL. These sides have quite a lengthy history for a relatively new format, with the teams clashing twice in season 1, once in the league - a game which produced 11 goals - and then once in the playoffs, which was won by Deportrio.

Deportrio have seen 6+ goals in each of their last four games in the Baller League, winning each of their last three which has lifted them up the table and into contention for a spot in the final four. I think we’ll see the mini-rivalry between these sides reignited here, both are familiar with the other and can lay a decent blow on a direct rival for a top four finish with all three points.

Prime were relentless last week as they put eight goals past Yanited in what was billed as a close match before kick off. They’ve made lightwork of their debut season in the Baller League, winning four of their opening six matches and looking like one of the most complete sides in the division.

The most impressive aspect of Prime’s dominance so far is how few goals they concede in this format. They’ve only conceded 12 goals across their six matches, the fewest of any side in the Baller League this term - and have added to this with 31 goals themselves, also more than any other side in the division.

It’s hard to make a case for Wembley Rangers here, they’ve only won two of their opening six matches in the Baller League and have only scored 18 goals which is nowhere near the scoring power that they’ll need to unsettle one of the best sides in Baller League UK so far this term.
