LiontipsPerth Glory vs Melbourne City. Prediction and bets on the match of the Australian Championship
Command Analysis
Current form
Perth Glory has not made it to the playoffs for several years, and last season ended at the bottom of the A-League, having scored only 22 points in 27 matches. The hosts are four points behind their closest competitor. The start of the current regular championship does not bode well either. In the first two rounds, the Perth club lost to Macarthur (1:6) and Wellington Phoenix (0:2) without a chance. Only in the third round did the team manage to score its first point, drawing with the current champion, Central Coast Mariners (0:0).
Disqualifications and injuries
Joshua Reedson, Mustafa Amini and Nikola Milesnic will miss the fight due to injuries.
Interesting trends for betting
- The team has not yet won a single game this season.
- The hosts have suffered three defeats in their last four matches
Probable lineup : Sale - Hamzaoui, Barr, Kanga Sanchez, Carluccio - Bugaria, O'Neill, Gomulka, Aoyama - Faisal, Taggart
Current form
Melbourne City had a hard time making the playoffs last season, finishing last in the top 6. In the quarterfinals, the team put up a decent fight against neighboring Melbourne Victory, but still lost in a penalty shootout. Before the start of the regular season in the A-League, the visitors played in the Australian Cup, but failed to overcome the first stage, losing in extra time to Perth Glory (4:5). At the start of the Australian league, the Citizens won minimal victories over Newcastle Jets (1:0) and Western United (1:0), but lost to Melbourne Victory (1:3).

A number of players will miss the match due to various injuries. Currently in the infirmary are Max Caputo, Emin Durakovic, Alessandro Lopane, Jayden Nekovski, Peter Antoniou, Benjamin Mazzeo, Harrison Shillington and Arion Sulemani.

Trends
Bet Exact score 0:1
The visitors have won their last two games with this score.
10.00Bet At least one team will not score
This bet has played in Perth Glory last two matches
2.40Bet Number 1 in the final score
This pattern has worked in the last three matches of the visitors
1.70Tip and bets
It is hard to expect success from the hosts in this match, after all, the club squad is one of the weakest in the league, hence the unsuccessful start. In three matches, the club conceded eight goals and scored only one. The visitors look much more solid at the start of the season, and they probably want to take revenge on their opponent for the recent defeat in the Australia Cup. We think that the club from Melbourne will be able to win away.
Our prediction is Asian handicap (0) on Melbourne City for 1.62
Bet on total
The teams will probably be very serious about the final match of the fourth round and will try to avoid serious mistakes in defense. In the first three rounds, the opponents did not score more than one goal, so we believe that this match will not be very productive either.
The second bet is total under 2.5 goals for 2.30
Bet on the first half
We don't expect the opponents to go forward in force immediately after the starting whistle. It will obviously take time to get to know each other. In this scenario, a draw at the end of the first half is likely.
Prediction: draw in the first half with odds of 2.35
