Match Result Prediction: Melbourne City to Win
Melbourne City come into this game after successive league draws but they would be confident over the familiar surroundings in this game. City Boys have registered three victories in the last four games at AAMI Park. On the other hand, Melbourne Victory has suffered three defeats in the previous four away adventures in the top division. Melbourne City is without a defeat in the last four home battles with the Big V and won two of them. Having an advantage of 1-0 in the game, we predict City to earn an easy victory in this game.
Total Goals Prediction: Over 2.5 Goals
Four of the last five meetings between these teams at AAMI Park have witnessed a total of over 2.5 goals. Melbourne City’s attack has been consistent at home and averaged three goals per game in the last five matches in front of the home crowd. However, the defence of City was breached in all of those games. On the other hand, Melbourne Victory has recorded a ratio of one goal per game in the previous five fixtures on the road.
Correct Score Prediction: 3-1 to Melbourne City
Melbourne City has slotted the ball home 12 times in just the last four home games with the Boys in Blue and claimed only one clean sheet in that course. Melbourne Victory has followed a winless sequence in the recent league visits but they have managed to only one goal per game in four of the previous six of them. Defensively, the Big V have conceded seven goals in the last four games away from home. Based on these numbers, we expect a 3-1 lead for the league leaders at the end of the ninety minutes.
