Attractive odds for those betting on both teams managing to find the back of the net, indicating that defensive frailties may play a part in this encounter. This often-occurred trend in matches involving these teams reinforces its viability.
Over 1.5 Goals HT: 60.00
A strong possibility given the teams’ tendency to attack early and score as the match unfolds in the initial half-hour intervals.
Both Teams Not To Score In 1st Half: 64.80
Counter-intuitive given the trend towards early goals, yet offers a balance for those who anticipate both teams being cautious or defensive in the opening half at least.
Home Team Not To Score In 1st Half: 57.10
Reflects a belief that Altona Magic SC could capitalize early but suggests that South Melbourne might be under pressure to equalize in the second half.

Indicates a potential shift in match dynamics where South Melbourne may strengthen defensively in response to any early lead by Altona, stymying further advances from the visitors.
Both Teams Not To Score In 2nd Half: 75.90
This suggests an expected tightening of defenses post-halftime, which could see both teams focusing on maintaining scores rather than immediately extending them.
Expert Predictions
Given the data and odds analysis, it is likely that goals will be plentiful, with both teams managing to score at least once each by full-time. Supporters of Altona Magic SC may look forward to strength in their initial attack, while South Melbourne’s ability to strike back late will be key to this high-scoring prediction.
