2.20Tip and bets
Last season, the visitors proved that they remain one of the strongest teams in the country and could even have secured the A-League title, but were unlucky in extra time. The hosts are much lower level and are unlikely to be able to resist their opponents in the cup.
Our prediction is Asian handicap (-2) on Melbourne Victory for 1.88
Bet on total
The visitors are very strong in attack and have scored four goals in the last two cup matches. It is unlikely that the hosts' defense will be able to cope with such a strong attack, so we should expect another high-scoring match.
Our prediction is total over 3.5 goals with odds of 1.70
Bet on corners
We believe that the visitors will seize the initiative from the first minutes and will dominate the entire match. This should lead to a big advantage in corners.
Our prediction is Asian handicap (-3.5) on corners at Melbourne Victory with odds of 1.75
