Melbourne City and Western Sydney Wanderers will face off at AAMI Park on Saturday in the A-League. The City Boys are ninth in the league standings, while the Wanderers are bottom of the table. Let’s get into the match prediction.
Melbourne City slipped to ninth place in the league standings going into the international break after conceding in the 91st minute against Perth Glory, which forced them to settle for a 1-1 draw.
It’s been a tough couple of months for City. They were eliminated from the AFC Champions League at the start of March and have only won two of their last 11 games across all competitions.
The biggest disappointment for the hosts this season has been their form at home, where they’ve earned only 11 points in nine games (W3 D2 L4) and have scored a league-low 10 goals.
Meanwhile, Western Sydney Wanderers remained rooted to the foot of the top-flight table, losing 4-2 to Adelaide United at home in their last match - their 11th defeat of the season.
The Wanderers have won just one of their last eight league matches since late January (D3 L4) and conceded two or more goals in six games during this period.
The visitors have the worst away record in the league this season, with eight points earned from 11 games. However, they are unbeaten in their last four games at this venue (W1 D3).
