Command Analysis

Perth Glory

Current form
Perth Glory are in the penultimate place in the league table and are only four points ahead of Brisbane Roar in last place. It will be extremely difficult for the hosts to reach the playoff zone, because the gap to the top 6 is already 13 points. The club from Perth managed to win against the season leader, Auckland (1:0), but then the hosts suffered a defeat at home to Western Sydney Wanderers (1:2). On January 25, David Zdrilic charges met with another outsider, Newcastle Jets. The meeting ended with a score of 2:2. For the entire season, the outsider managed to earn only nine points, scoring only 11 goals. Perth Glory is the least productive club in the A-League.

Nicholas Pennington and David Williams will not play for the hosts due to injuries. Nikola Mileusnic is in doubt.

Melbourne Victory were the finalists of the A-League last season, but they failed to win the title - the team lost to Central Coast Mariners in extra time.

2.35Tip and bets
The hosts have failed to make any significant progress in their game this season and still cannot shake off their status as a clear underdog. Melbourne Victory look much more preferable, and the fight for the playoff zone is in full swing, so they cannot afford to lose points now, especially in matches with underdogs. Most likely, the visitors will be able to win their second victory in a row.
Our prediction is Asian handicap (-1) on Melbourne Victory for 1.65
Bet on total
The hosts are very weak in attack - the Perth club has only 11 goals for the entire season. In the match with the clear favorite, Glory will probably again focus on defense, so do not count on a productive match with Melbourne Victory.
Our prediction is total under 3.5 goals for 1.75
Bet on corners
Most likely, the visitors will immediately seize the initiative in this match and will press on the opponent goal for the entire 90 minutes. With such a game, the favorite will certainly win in almost all key indicators, including the number of corners taken.
Our prediction is Asian handicap (-2.5) on corners for Melbourne Victory at 1.82
