OV vs AA Team Bets:

The oddsmakers are yet to offer us markets for the scheduled fixture. Hence after a careful analysis of the past statistics we have picked the top two betting tips from the OV vs AA team betting tips.

Auckland Aces To Win

The Auckland Aces started late in the tournament but started very handsomely and are currently an undefeated force. On the back of an excellent 224 run victory against Canterbury Kings last time out in the Plunket Shield, Auckland now bids to make its back-to-back wins here as they face the Otago Volts yet again in a reverse fixture. Hamish Rutherford side have won just one of their five Shield matches played this season and come into this one low on confidence following their 213 runs hammering in the hands of the Aces. Robert O'Donnell's men look particularly strong on the bowling front. Auckland Aces have a terrific side that oozes class right throughout their lineup. They have the likes of Martin Guptill, Glenn Phillips, Mark Chapman and Robert O’Donnell in their batting lineup and their bowling line up consists of players like Simon Keene, Benjamin Lister, Somerville and Solia. They are well in the business to make it to the top of the table. Otago Volts on the other hand are having a pretty disappointing campaign. They have lost pretty much most of their games by a massive margin in the tournament thus far. What further divides Auckland Aces from the Volts is a terrific run rate and a 18 points differential in the ladder. It will be a difficult task to get past the Aces, if they play to their full potential. The Otago Volts will have a hard time in the upcoming match. Comparing the two sides on the basis of their current forms, the Aces seem ahead. As for now, head over to Pari match as they come up with winner odds in the OV vs AA head to head match.
