Melbourne Renegades vs Melbourne Stars Betting Preview

This BBL Melbourne derby encounter promises to be an intriguing battle against two sides that have been far too inconsistent this season.

Both sides will be keen to push towards the BBL play-off places on the back of wins last time out. Renegades secured a much-needed success over Perth Scorchers while the Stars fought back well to hand Sydney Sixers just their second defeat of the campaign.

It was the Stars that came out on top when these sides last met. That was a five-wicket win at the MCG as Ben Duckett starred with the bat to help his side chase down 168.

It is Melbourne Stars that are made favourites for this contest but the prices between the teams are still quite close. It is the recent run of results for the Stars that probably accounts for their slightly shorter odds.

Renegades vs Stars Betting Tips and Predictions

Take a look at our top betting tips and predictions for this match. We consider recent form, potential line-ups, head-to-head records, and much more when highlighting our best bets for this fixture.

Duckett to be Top Stars Batter

Ben Duckett has been enjoying an excellent BBL campaign so far and can add to his runs tally here. He is on form and will look to repeat his 67 against the Renegades last time these two sides met. He is sixth in the top run-scorer charts and should enjoy the challenge of getting his side off to a quick start at this ground. His price of $4.50 with bet365 looks appealing.

Stoinis for Player of the Match

For a long shot bet for this game, consider Marcus Stoinis for player of the match. He has been superb with the ball, can take powerplay wickets, and has been in swashbuckling form with the bat and sits second in the top run-scorer charts. His price of $8.00 with bet365 is a good bet.

Team News

Recent Test debutant Beau Webster came into the Stars team to replace Tom Rogers and had an immediate impact that should be enough for him to keep his place here.

His measured 48 batting at number three helped his side put enough on the board to see off the Sixers. Sam Harper moved up to open and it seems unlikely the Stars will make too many changes unless injury hits.

For the Renegades, Tim Seifert was promoted to open alongside Marcus Harris in their last fixture. Jake Fraser-McGurk dropped to three as they reshuffled following the loss of big-hitting opener Josh Brown with a wrist injury.

That change didn’t work for either Seifert or McGurk as both fell for ducks. A return for Brown will leave the team with a big decision on the makeup of the top order.

Predicted Line-ups

Renegades: Brown, Fraser-McGurk, Seifert (wk), Bethell, Evans, Wells, Sutherland (c), Rogers, Sandhu, Zampa, Richardson.

Stars: Duckett, Harper (wk), Webster, Lawrence, Stoinis (c), Maxwell, Cartwright, Mir, Paris, Steketee, Siddle.
