In one of the matches of the Australian championship, the players of Perth Glory and Melbourne City will clash face to face. Will any of the rivals be able to determine the strongest in the upcoming confrontation? Our sports portal gives a forecast for this meeting.
Perth Glory
Perth Glory players broke their losing streak in the last round. The team was able to get only one point in the home meeting against the "VS Wanderers" - 1:1. Thus, the hopes of the Sydney team for a possible entry into the playoffs were cut short. This did not help Zadkovich's team in any way in the tournament plan, since today's hosts are still on the last line in the overall standings, and the team's open style of play can play a cruel joke on it.
Melbourne City
In the Australian championship, Melbourne City did not actually play for a month. It is worth noting that at this time the team played in the Asian Champions League, where only by additional indicators the Australian team lost its place in the playoffs of the tournament. Now Melbourne can fully focus on performances in the domestic championship, where the team still remains the leader of the standings, but the pursuers are not asleep. It is important for Melbourne to win on their return in order to feel confident in their abilities.
Statistics and figures:
- Melbourne is a clear favorite of the meeting;
- Perth Glory lost 4 of the previous 5 meetings;
- Melbourne has 3 wins in 5 games;
- The last face-to-face meeting of the rivals ended with a score of 2:2.
Forecast
Melbourne is determined to perform in the first after the return of the Australian Championship matches at the proper level. We assume that the guests will win a landslide victory over the opponent, having sustained a head start of 1.5 goals.
