Competition: A-League
Market: Melbourne Victory to score in both halves
Odds: 19/20 @ 1xBet
Two sides who already find themselves battling it out at opposite ends of the A-League table, Melbourne Victory and Perth Glory will meet on Sunday morning.
Starting with the hosts, while Melbourne might have eventually been forced to settle for a bronze medal finish among Australia’s elite last season, the Victory have their sights firmly set on mounting a genuine A-League title charge this time around. Opening December with a dominant display as they stormed their way to a 3-1 romp away at Western United, Patrick Kisnorbo’s side are now looking to find a route to the top of the table. Heading into November’s international break with a routine 2-0 victory against Brisbane, the former Leicester defender will certainly be smelling another golden opportunity here. Laying down an early marker back on October 26th as they claimed a stellar 3-1 win against bitter local rivals Melbourne City, Sunday’s hosts have come flying out of the traps. In fact, along with a 2-1 victory against Macarthur last month, Kisnorbo’s high-flying squad have registered 12 points from their previous five A-League appearances.
As for the visitors, finishing last season sat rock-bottom of the A-League table and breaking a string of unwanted records, Perth once again find themselves at the heart of a public crisis. Marking their return from November’s international break with a routine 3-1 loss at home against Western United, David Zdrilic’s men are unsurprisingly pencilled in as a leading contender to lift the wooden spoon. Opening proceedings with an infamous 6-1 drumming at the hands of Macarthur, the Glory have failed to win any of their first six A-League appearances. Heading into November’s fortnight interval with a 5-0 defeat against Melbourne City, Perth have also gained a reputation for their glaring defensive issues. In fact, Sunday’s guests have already conceded 18 A-League strikes and they look set for another monumental challenge here. Two sides who are destined to be battling it out at opposite ends of the table this season, Perth are rightfully regarded as a landslide underdog this weekend.
