SCO vs STA Match 27 Predictions & Betting Tips

Perth Scorchers will take on Melbourne Stars in the 27th game of the 2021-22 Big Bash League. The Scorchers will host the Stars at the Perth Stadium in Perth on Thursday, December 30. Take a look at the top three betting tips assembled from the SCO vs STA match prediction exclusively for you.

After their six match winning streak, the Scorchers lost their first match this season in the hands of Sydney Thunder in their last game. The Stars on the other hand after losing two matches in a row registered their third win of the season against Brisbane Heat. Perth Scorchers have played seven games in the series and will be looking to strengthen their hold of the top spot, while Melbourne Stars have played six matches in the series and are currently ranked fifth on the points table. Both teams last played against each other in the 50th match of the 2020-21 Big Bash League where the Stars were beaten by 11 runs played at the Melbourne Cricket Ground. The Perth Scorchers lost their previous match but we think that they have the quality to be able to bounce back strongly in this one. While the Stars will have been relieved to get back to winning ways and would make efforts to retain the same. However, with the kind of consistency shown by the Scorchers we will be backing them as favourites in the Perth Scorchers vs Melbourne Stars head-to-head match.
