Western United vs Melbourne City: Top Free Betting Tips

Following a victory against Adelaide United, Western United is set to face Melbourne City in the next A-League fixture on Saturday, 22 April. City Boys make an appearance in this game after losing two points against Central Coast Mariners in the top-flight football.

Match Result Prediction: Melbourne City to Win

Western United have a combination of two victories, two defeats and a draw in the previous five league outings. Melbourne City has secured a six-match undefeated ahead of this game and recorded three wins in that duration. City Boys have also managed to beat Western United in the last two consecutive meetings. Having the advantage of playing at AAMI Park, we can expect Melbourne City to save all three points in this game.

Total Goals Prediction: Over 2.5 Goals

Three of the previous four meetings between these two clubs have gone Over 2.5 Goals. Melbourne City has been consistent on the scoring end and rattled the net nine times in the last five league affairs. Western United have also hit the back of the net six times in the same duration. But United has not been great at the back and conceded six goals in just the last three outings in A-League. Considering these statistics, a total of Over 2.5 Goals will be the most probable result for this fixture.

Correct Score Prediction: 1-2 to Melbourne City

Western United have scored more than once in only one of the previous four league games while allowing at least twice in two of them. Melbourne City has conceded only one goal in each of the previous five matches. On the scoring end, Hearts scored six goals in just the previous two games at AAMI Park against Wellington and Melbourne Victory. City Boys hit the back of the net four and two goals per game in the previous two H2Hs against Western United. Following these numbers, we see City in the position to record a 1-2 lead in this game.

Western United Preview

After a wait of three winless games in the A-League, Western United secured three points against Adelaide United away at Coopers Stadium. Connor Pain’s goal a minute before the break was enough to put United ahead and get a 0-1 margin at the end. The team’s preparation is slightly marred by the absence of Neil Kilkenny due to calf problems.

Melbourne City Preview

Jordan Bos put City in front with the opening goal in the 63rd minute but Mariners’ Josh Nisbet levelled the score 15 minutes after for a 1-1 result. Centre forward Arian Sulemani will not be able to give his services in the upcoming challenge due to a cruciate ligament rupture.
