Saturday’s A-League action kicks off at the Go Media Stadium with Auckland playing host to Melbourne City. The Black Knights are second in the league standings, while the City Boys are eighth. Let’s get into the match prediction.

After only managing one win in six league games in January (D2 L3), Auckland FC are starting to rediscover their rhythm and enter this match following a 5-0 victory over Wellington Phoenix.

That result marked the Black Knights’ largest margin of victory in the top flight since February last year against the same opponent and extended their unbeaten run to three games (W2 D1). 

The hosts have taken 14 points from their eight home games this season (W4 D2 L2). Notably, they have already lost twice at home this term, as many as they lost across the whole of last season. 

Meanwhile, Melbourne City slipped yet another spot in the league standings to eighth last weekend after suffering a 3-1 defeat against cross-town rivals Victory in the Melbourne Derby. 

Hearts have only won one of their last six matches across all competitions (D3 L2). Notably, this will be their third game in the space of 10 days owing to their participation in the AFC Champions League. 

The visitors are also winless in their last three away league games (D2 L1), a notable dip after taking seven points from their preceding three on the road (W2 D1).

Our Auckland FC vs Melbourne City Prediction

While Auckland managed to record a clean sheet last week, those have not been as common for them this term compared to last, especially at home, where they’ve only shut out opponents in one of their last seven games. 

Fixture congestion is certainly starting to show for City in recent weeks. However, despite failing to win any of their last three games on the road, they have scored in each of those matches. Therefore, our Auckland FC vs Melbourne City prediction is BTTS.
