The problem is the number of teams in the mix

One of the 6 teams is bound to go on a spectacular run, you’d think. Maybe it’ll be us? My concern though, is our away form - it’ll need to improve significantly.

My gut feeling is we’ll keep pace, but probably won’t do well enough to overhaul. If it was 2 from 3, I’d be backing us.
