Arguably the pick of the matchday 15 fixtures in the A-League will come to us on Saturday morning when Auckland play host to Melbourne City at the Go Media Stadium. The Black Knights are in third place while the Hearts lead the league standings. Let’s get into the match prediction. 

Auckland have endured a very poor last month, and after losing to Perth Glory over the weekend, they were forced to relinquish the lead in the league standings. 

With that result, the Black Knights have now managed only a single victory since the middle of December, a massive drop-off after racking up six straight wins at the start of the season. 

Still, the hosts are a tough side to beat on their home patch, suffering just one defeat in six home games this season while maintaining clean sheets in four of those matches.

In contrast, Melbourne City have been on an upward trajectory of late, winning each of their three matches in the New Year, with the most recent being a 1-0 victory over Brisbane Roar. 

The Hearts are now unbeaten in their last seven league games (W4 D3 L0) and have gone almost 300 minutes without conceding a goal in the top flight. 

Notably, the visitors have done their best work on the road this season, with 14 of their 24 points coming in away games, while they have yet to taste defeat on their travels (W4 D2 L0).

Our Auckland FC vs Melbourne City Prediction

After making an incredible start to life in the top flight with six consecutive victories, Auckland have now hit a bit of a rough patch with just one win in their last five games, while failing to score in three of their last four. 

Meanwhile, Melbourne City have been in great shape, now unbeaten in six in a row and they have yet to lose a match on the road this season. We feel the visitors will avoid defeat in this one as well. Our Auckland vs Melbourne City prediction is X or Melbourne City.
