Command Analysis
Melbourne City FC
AustraliaCurrent form
Melbourne City continues to fight for a place in the Australian A-League playoffs. The club occupies the seventh position in the standings, but still has excellent chances of getting into the top 6. The hosts are only one point behind the three teams sharing fourth place, while the third Western United is only two points ahead of City. Given that the hosts have a match in reserve, it is possible to immediately move up to third place in case of victory. However, the last fights ended unsuccessfully for Aurelio Vidmar's wards. On the road, the squad lost to Auckland (0:3), MacArthur (0:1) and Adelaide United (0:1).
Disqualifications and injuries
A number of players will miss the match as part of the hosts. Max Caputo, Jonathan Cohen, Andreas Kuhn, Alessandro Lopane, Andrew Nabbut, Jayden Nekowski and Marco Tilio remain in the infirmary. James Jeggo's entry into the field is questionable.
Interesting betting trends
- The team lost three matches in a row without scoring a single goal.
- None of the last six matches of the hosts ended in a draw.
Approximate composition: Beach - Talbot, Trewin, Supryan, Behich - Ugarkovich, Schreiber - Atkinson, Wong, Politidis - Memeti
Perth Glory
AustraliaCurrent form
Perth Glory occupies the penultimate place in the standings and is only four points ahead of Brisbane Roar from last place. At the same time, the guests played two more matches, so with an unfortunate combination of circumstances, the Perth club may drop to the bottom of the standings. In the last four matches of the championship, the team has not won a single victory. On their own field, David Zdrilic's team lost to Western Sydney Wanderers (1:2) and Melbourne Victory (0:2). At the same time, they managed to score points in duels with Newcastle Jets (2:2) and Central Coast Mariners (1:1).
Disqualifications and injuries
David Williams remains in the infirmary. Lachlan Barr, Adam Bugaria, Andriano Lebib, Zach Lizolajski and Jaylen Perman are in the squad.
Interesting betting trends
- The team has not won a single game in the last five matches.
- Three of the club's last four games ended in a draw.
Approximate composition: Duncan - Bos, Roderick, Hamill, Geria - Tig, Valadon - Piscopo, Mashash, Velupille - Vergos
Trends
The bet is an accurate score of 2:0
The hosts have won two of the last three victories with this score.
7.50Bet At least one team won't score
This bet has played in the last six matches of the hosts
1.90The bid is the number 2 in the final bill
The pattern has worked in four of the last five away matches.
2.55Tip and bets
Melbourne City have lost three consecutive away matches, but now they are returning to their home field and ready to break the losing streak. We will have to play with one of the outsiders of the championship, so the team from Melbourne will certainly be able to please their fans. In the last face-to-face match, the hosts won outrageously, and now we should expect such an outcome.
Our forecast is an Asian handicap (-1.5) for Melbourne City in 1.82
Bet on the total
The hosts have not scored in the last three matches, so you can hardly expect high performance from Melbourne City. The guests will surely bet on defense, because the difference in class between the rivals is quite serious. Most likely, the opponents will not score more than three goals.
Our forecast is a total of less than 3.5 goals in 1.65
Betting on corners
Most likely, the opponents will play defensively, which means that a lot of serves from the corner flag are not expected. We suggest betting on a total of less in this indicator.
Our forecast is a total of less than 10.5 corners in 1.85
