Make your predictions

Who will win and what will be the final score

Both teams have played 28 games, Vernon winning only 8 while SA has won 23. Vipers have scored a meager 73 goals while allowing 93. The Apes have scored 114 goals while allowing 64. My Heart is for a Viper win but my Head says it is a tough hill to climb. So... Salmon Arm 5 - 2 over Vernon. And I accept that I will be called Negative, I think of myself as a Realist.

The Vipers will stand a chance if Jack Glen is not in the lineup. Most nights, his mistakes lead to one to three goals by the opposition.
