Competition: A-League
Market: Goal to be scored in both halves
Odds: 3/5 @ 1xBet
In what could prove to be another enjoyable A-League showdown on Saturday morning, Western Sydney will welcome Melbourne Victory to the CommBank Stadium.
Starting with the hosts, while Western Sydney might have opened the New Year in the midst of a real blip, the Wanderers have come roaring back in a sensational fashion. Last seen putting in another dominant display as they stormed their way to a 4-1 romp at home against Perth, Alen Stajcic’s men find the mood in their camp at a red-hot high. Skyrocketing their way back into the play-off places, the former Central Coast boss will be calling on his high-flying squad to lay down another marker here. Signing off February with a sensational 4-0 victory away at the Mariners, Western Sydney have won all of their previous three A-League appearances by an aggregate score of 10-3. In fact, on what has become a real purple patch, Saturday’s hosts have registered 13 points from their last six outings. With a remarkable 3-3 stalemate against Sydney their only minor blip since the end of January, Stajcic’s camp have gained a reputation for their free-scoring performances in the final third.
As for the visitors, while Melbourne might be seeking a real miracle in the race to get their hands on a fish A-League crown this season, the Victory are enjoying their own extended flurry. Putting in what was a rampant performance last weekend as they cruised their way to a 3-0 victory against Central Coast, Arthur Diles’ side have suffered just a single defeat from any of their previous seven A-League appearances. With it appearing that their 3-0 drumming against Newcastle on February 8th was just a minor blip, Saturday’s guests are cruising their way towards another play-off ticket this season. However, facing what should be a tricky test this weekend, Melbourne have struggled to find any real stability on their travels. Including a 3-2 loss against Adelaide on January 18th, Diles’ camp have notched just a single win from any of their last six showdowns away from AAMI Park. With Saturday’s opponents playing out a 2-2 stalemate when they last met on January 4th, we could be treated to another enjoyable affair this weekend.
