Looking at overall recent form, Auckland Aces have registered 3 wins in their last 10 matches across all opposition, while Otago Volts have bettered this slightly with 4 victories. Both teams are undoubtedly eager to secure a win in this clash, setting the stage for their next hurdles. Auckland Aces will face Northern Districts on Friday, October 24, 2025, while Otago Volts have their eyes on their upcoming match against Canterbury on the same day.

Considering the current dynamics and past performances, Auckland Aces seem to have a slight edge over Otago Volts. However, with both having their own strengths and the Volts’ recent upset win in mind, this matchup may prove a thrilling contest. Yet, with Aces showing outstanding head-to-head results historically, they are favored to clinch victory in this game.
