Two title contenders meet in Melbourne

Melbourne City host Western United in a tie at AAMI Park that sees both teams looking to bounce back after disappointing results last weekend.

Melbourne City got off to a good start to the season, picking up a 1-0 win over Brisbane Roar on the opening weekend but were unable to follow up on the victory, being defeated 2-0 by Adelaide United last weekend. City will be hoping to bounce back with a win here as they try and challenge for the Premiers Plate once again.

Western United drew 0-0 in their first, and only, game this season with the side unable to defeat Adelaide United. They won’t be too disappointed in that result though and will use it as a building block ahead of this weekend’s key battle.

History very much sides with Melbourne City in this game with the hosts winning all four of the encounters between these two sides, scoring 10 goals along the way but Western United are a tough team and this match should be much tighter than history suggests. Both sides possess some fantastic attacking talent and that should be enough to get the game going from the early stages. Knowing that, we’re predicting this match to see over 2.5 goals.

The match could go either way with both side having the talent available to pick up the win but we’re going to just side with Melbourne City in this encounter, winning an exciting encounter 3-2
