Preview:
It hasn’t been the best of starts for Northern Knights in this Super Smash 2020-21 season. Losing all three of their games so far, they are in a spot of bother and desperately need a win if they are to turn things around. Having already lost to Central Stags in their previous encounter, they would want to dictate terms in their own backyard.
Central Stags, on the other hand, have won two of their three games. They started slow with a loss against Wellington in their first game but have won the next two games comfortably and would like to keep the momentum going. They look a formidable side with all departments clicking together and hold an upper hand against their rivals.
