LiontipsMelbourne City vs Western Sydney Wanderers. Prediction and bets on the match of the Australian Championship
Command Analysis
Current form
Melbourne City reached the playoffs last season from fifth place and faced Melbourne Victory in the quarterfinals, to whom they lost in a penalty shootout. They also failed to get far in the Australian Cup - in the first stage, the club lost to Perth Glory in extra time. The team began the new regular championship with three consecutive away victories - they managed to beat Newcastle Jets (1:0), Western United (1:0) and Perth Glory (5:0). It is noteworthy that the club suffered its only defeat on its home field, in a match with its recent offender, Melbourne Victory (1:3).
Disqualifications and injuries
The hosts will be without Max Caputo, Alessandro Lopane, Andrew Nabbout, Jayden Nekovski, Marco Tilio, Peter Antoniou and Harrison Shillington due to injury.
Interesting trends for betting
- The hosts have not tied a single game this regular season.
- The team managed to keep a clean sheet in the last two matches
Estimated lineup: Beach - Talbot, Trewin, Supraien, Atkinson - Ugarkovich, Schreiber - Cohen, Kuhn, Politidis - Memeti
Current form
Western Sydney Wanderers were very close to the playoff zone last season - they missed out by just two points. This season, the team has also been unsuccessful and is only in tenth place in the league table. There are no complaints about the attack - the visitors scored 11 goals and are second in the championship in this indicator, but the club is also in second place in goals conceded. After a big win over Sydney (4:1), the club suffered an away defeat to Sydney (2:4) in a high-scoring match.

1.77Tip and bets
The visitors, although not achieving positive results at the start of the season, constantly act with an emphasis on attack, and with any opponent. Surely today the Wanderers will not be afraid of Melbourne City and will immediately go forward. The hosts will have a lot of space for counterattacks, so we should expect a productive match.
Our prediction is total over three goals for 1.87
Bet on the outcome
The hosts have had a great start to the season and have had no problem beating the outsiders away. We believe that the team will be able to cope with the clearly inferior Western Sydney Wanderers on their home field. Considering that Melbourne City lost their first home match of the season, we can confidently say that the players will now do everything they can to win.
Our prediction is Melbourne City to win at 1.77
Bet on corners
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.
Our prediction is a draw in the first half at 2.45
