Competition: <\/strong>NPL Victoria<\/p>\n Market: <\/strong>Both teams to score<\/p>\n Odds:<\/strong> 4\/7 @ 1xBet<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n Two camps who are looking to make an immediate return to winning ways on Friday morning, the Melbourne Knights will host Oakleigh.<\/p>\n Starting with the hosts, while the Knights might have signed off June with a hard-fought 2-1 victory away at Melbourne Victory\u2019s U21s, John Markovski\u2019s men came crashing back down to earth last time out. Eventually falling to an action-packed 4-2 defeat at the hands of St. Albans, the former Altona Magic boss finds his squad sat rock-bottom of he NPL Victoria standings. Putting just 13 points on the board from their 20 appearances so far this season, Melbourne have continued to show a string of glaring issues. Including a 4-1 drumming at home against Green Gully last month, the Knights have recorded just a sole win from any of their previous 12 consecutive NPL Victoria appearances \u2013 a rut that stems back to a 3-1 win against St. Albans on March 30th. Likewise, already shipping 49 goals since opening up the 2025, Friday\u2019s hosts hold the second-worst defensive tally in the division.<\/p>\n As for the visitors, although Oakleigh might have got April underway in the midst of what was a real purple patch, the Cannons are seeking some much-needed recent stability. Despite mounting a sensational late comeback away at Dandenong Thunder as they eventually snatched a thrilling 3-3 stalemate, Chris Taylor\u2019s men have mustered just a single win from their previous four NPL Victoria appearances. Slumping to a shock 5-2 drumming at home against Melbourne Victory\u2019s U21s on June 13th, the Blues have also shown their own respective defensive struggles. Along with a 3-2 loss against St. Albans last month, Oakleigh have shipped 11 goals in their previous four outings. It should also be highlighted, Taylor\u2019s camp have registered just a sole clean sheet from their last 10 straight appearances \u2013 a run that stems all the way back to April 11th. Likewise, with five of their last six matchups finishing with both teams finding the net, we are expecting a similar outcome.<\/p>\n Bet: Both teams to score at Melbourne Knights vs Oakleigh Cannons 4\/7 for Friday\u2019s NPL Victoria matchup <\/strong>@<\/strong> 1xBet<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n![](\"https:\/\/www.soccernews.com\/wp-content\/themes\/SN\/images\/300x250_HR.gif\")
