Welsh Fire and Manchester Originals have not had the finest starts this season. Despite possessing a formidable lineup on paper, the Fire have yet to win a game. They've struggled to work well together throughout matches. Manchester has done better, and their most recent triumph should have buoyed their spirits. Given recent form and team balance, Manchester appears to be in a little stronger position to win this one. Considering the team combination, Manchester Originals is expected to win this match.
