Australia vs Tonga prediction

Australia have been the gold standard when it comes to netball for a long time and are the current reigning World Cup and Commonwealth champions. Stacey Marinkovich has been in charge of the Diamonds since 2020 and her formidable squad head into Glasgow as favourites to claim another gold medal. She boasts an outstanding team full of stars whether it be captain Kate Moloney, Jo Weston or captain Liz Watson.

Tonga have made significant progress when it comes to their netball problem over this past decade and are ranked eighth in the world as it stands. But Australia are of a different class and whilst they may start slightly rusty as you would perhaps expect in a tournament such as this, expect them to grow into the game and ultimately win comfortably.
