Melbourne Victory are in sixth place in the A-League standings and have slumped after a good start to their campaign. The hosts held Melbourne City to a 1-1 draw in their previous game and will look to take it up a notch in this fixture. The Victory shared the points with the Mariners in a 1-1 draw before going down 4-3 to Vissel Kobe in extra time in their Asian Champions League play-off.
In that match, Melbourne Victory had 39% possession and 11 shots at goal with 3 on target. The only player on the scoresheet for Melbourne Victory was Marco Rojas (19′). On the other end, Melbourne City got 10 attempts at goal with 2 of them on target. Curtis Good (45′) scored for Melbourne City. It has been all too rare in recent times where Melbourne Victory has managed to hold out for a full 90 minutes. In fact, Melbourne Victory has seen their defense breached in 5 of their previous 6 games, letting in 7 goals along the way.

Western United, on the other hand, is in second place in the league table at the moment and has been exceptional this season. The away side suffered a 3-0 defeat against Sydney FC and will want to bounce back in this match. Western United it three consecutive wins when they beat Newcastle 2-1 in Ballarat before they were held by Melbourne City in a 2-2 draw which took their unbeaten run to nine matches.
After a losing effort in their last game against Sydney FC in the A-League competition, Western United will be aiming to make amends here. In that match, Western United managed 45% possession and 6 shots at goal with 2 on target. At the other end, Sydney FC got 14 attempts at goal with 4 of them on target. John Aloisi’s Western United have fired home 10 times throughout their most recent 6 matches. The aggregate of goals that have been scored against them during those same matches adds up to 8.

Western United has been in excellent form this season and could potentially win their first league title in the coming months. The away side suffered a stunning defeat against Sydney FC over the weekend and will need to get their campaign back on track in this fixture. Western United might have a difficult job to score against this Melbourne Victory side who we think should be able to grind out a win.
Melbourne Victory has a few issues to address at the moment and will need to play out of their skins in this match. Western United is the better team and should be able to win this game. The home team comes into this on the back of a 1-1 draw in the Melbourne derby against the reigning champions Melbourne City. Melbourne Victory are winless in their last three matches in all competitions as they begin this weekend’s round of fixtures sitting firmly in the middle of the 12-team table.
Melbourne Victory 3-1 Western United, as predicted by us.
