Melbourne Victory Sydney betting prediction


Betting suggestion:

The fact that he had a few more days to prepare for this championship match should make the Melbourne Victory team try to take advantage of playing at home to try to surprise Sydney. On the other hand, the title champion will also seek to resume the good results, because it comes from a surprising defeat in the championship. Thus, a game divided between two teams with recognized quality in the offensive moment is expected, which should facilitate the appearance of good finishing situations.

In the last round, the team led by Spaniard Carlos Pérez finally managed to return to victories in the A-League, after six consecutive matches without winning. Following a 1-1 draw against Newcastle Jets, Melbourne Victory won by 2-1 against Adelaide United in a game with a twist ending.
