Melbourne Knights vs. Altona Magic

The Altona Magic have scored 4 goals in five matches to open the Australian Victoria NPL League. But they're in 10th place in the 14-team league because of a defense that has surrendered 7 goals. They come off a 2-1 loss at home to Green Gully with eight of their last 14 road games sailing OVER 2.5 goals. The fifth-ranked Melbourne Knights are outscoring opponents 7-6 through five matches. Last season, the offense was fine (36 goals scored in 26 matches) but they allowed 40 goals, the fifth-most. They come off a 3-2 victory over Port Melbourne with nine of their last 15 home league games going OVER 2.5 goals. With four of the last six meetings between these teams sailing OVER 2.5 goals, look for another offensive show. Take the Melbourne Knights/Altona Magic OVER the total.
