The Tigers are the side with something to prove after that heavy defeat. The Golden Tigers have not won in two of their last three games and have conceded 81 goals in that span. They’ve drawn both, conceding 28 goals.

Tigers to win on 24 September. The visitors have taken both matches in their last two meetings and are unbeaten across their last two outings, while the hosts have lost two of three. The visitors have kept a clean sheet in none of the last two matches but have not lost either. But a tighter defence from the hosts could blunt the run — the 41:7 scoreline suggests the Tigers can be vulnerable, but the visitors also scored 32 in their only home game of the period.
