Perth Glory vs Melbourne City Predictions

• Three of the last four H2H meetings at this venue produced over 2.5 goals.
•  Melbourne City’s league games this season average 3.5 total goals per-game.
• Six of Melbourne City’s last eight away victories saw them score 3+ goals.

A tale of bottom against top

There isn’t much glory where Perth are concerned of late, as the two-time Australian champions languish at the bottom of the table with no respite in sight as they sit eight points adrift of the closest side.

Welcoming the table toppers and current champions Melbourne City isn’t exactly the ideal scenario then, as they have scored six goals across their last two visits to Perth!

Games at Perth’s HBF Park haven’t been highly entertaining spectacles this season with ten of 12 producing under 2.5 goals, though it is often a different story when Melbourne City come to town. Notably, nine of the last 11 home H2H meetings produced over 2.5 match goals!

Goals galore where Melbourne are concerned

Only games involving Newcastle Jets saw more goals scored than the 83 in Melbourne’s league games this season, which includes a league high 53 goals scored.

We expect Melbourne to put on a similarly scintillating attacking show which has helped them to a run of ten unbeaten games across the last 11 trips (W7, D3, L1); netting at least three goals in five victories therein.

All things considered, we predict that over 2.5 goals is the way to go in this game, with Melbourne possibly running out comfortable 3-1 victors in the correct score market. That is the same scoreline as in this fixture played almost a year ago to the day.
