Northern Brave vs Otago Volts Expert Prediction

Northern Brave simply must win this game when taking into account that they are currently outside the top three but face an opponent on the back of three straight defeats and who are just two points ahead of the Brave heading into the final couple of league stage rounds. 

With five points banked from the last eight available to the team, Northern Brave have stayed in touch and now have the opportunity to strike for a top three place. Expect doubts to quickly make their way through to the Otago Volts dugout with a bad start here, leaving the door open for Northern Brave to take full advantage.
