Competition: A-League
Market: Melbourne City win
Odds: 3/5 @ 888sport
Looking to extend on what has been an eye-catching run of form, Melbourne City will welcome Perth Glory to AAMI Park on Wednesday morning.
Starting with the hosts, last seen over the weekend when putting in another hugely impressive display on the road, the mood in Melbourne’s camp should be at a real high. Claiming a 2-1 win against fellow Australian heavyweights Sydney, the Blues now find themselves sat just a single point adrift of climbing to the top of the table. In fact, along with winning each of their last three outings on the spin, Head Coach Patrick Kisnorbo has seen his side muster 21 points from their last six outings. Smelling a golden chance on Wednesday morning, Melbourne have also continued to shine with their recent displays on home soil. It should be highlighted, the one-time Leeds defender has seen his side secure back-to-back wins at AAMI Park, scoring a trio of strikes in each of those victories.
As for the visitors, while Melbourne City might find the mood around AAMI Park at a real high, the same cannot be said for a downbeat Perth squad. Last seen over the weekend putting in another flat display as they suffered a deserved 2-0 loss against title contenders Western United on Sunday morning, the Purples are once again battling it out at the foot of the A-League standings. Knowing that they face another huge task in midweek, Head Coach Richard Garcia has seen his side muster just a single win from any of their last five outings over the past month. Likewise, it should also be noted, suffering a 1-0 defeat when the two sides faced off back on December 8th, Perth have lost three of their last four meetings against the Australian heavyweights. Given the recent gulf in class, we’re backing a home victory here.
