Command Analysis
Melbourne City FC
AustraliaCurrent form
Melbourne City has no plans to stay in the playoffs this season, but the competition in the Australian championship is now quite serious, so we'll have to try to stay in the top 6. At the moment, the club is in fifth place in the standings, but seventh Sydney is only two points behind. Not so long ago, the Melbourne team suffered three defeats in a row, losing to Auckland (0:3), MacArthur (0:1) and Adelaide United (0:1), but after that the club scored points in three matches in a row. Aurelio Vidmar's team managed to score minimal victories over Perth Glory (1-0) and Wellington Phoenix (1-0), and also drew in the derby with Melbourne Victory (2-2).
Disqualifications and injuries
Jonathan Cohen, Andrew Nabbout, Jayden Nekowski and Steven Ugarkovich will not play due to injuries. James Jeggo's entry into the field is questionable.

This bet has played in eight of the last nine matches of the hosts
2.25The bid is the number 1 in the final bill
This pattern has worked in four of Melbourne City's last five matches
1.80Tip and bets
The hosts lost the last two face-to-face matches to today's opponent, but today there is a great opportunity to take revenge. Melbourne City is playing on its own field, where it has managed to win four in a row, and during this time the team has never conceded. We think that City will be able to break down the opponent's resistance in today's match, besides, MacArthur is not in the best shape right now.
Our betting tip is an Asian handicap (-1) for Melbourne City in 2.00
Bet on the total
Melbourne City has been playing brilliantly defensively in recent matches, especially on home turf. The last two face-to-face matches between the rivals also turned out to be not very productive, so there will probably be a lower total bet here.
Our betting tip is a total of less than 3.5 goals per 1.60
The first half bet
We do not expect that the opponents will move forward with great strength immediately after the kickoff. Obviously, it will take time to take a closer look at each other. In this scenario, a draw is likely based on the results of the first half.
Our betting tip is a draw in the first half at 2.45
