Melbourne City and Western United will meet in the second leg of their A-League semi-final tie on Saturday at AAMI Park. The winner of this tie between the Hearts and Western will face either Auckland or Melbourne Victory in the final. Let’s get into the match prediction.
Melbourne City enter this match in a commanding position coming into this match, having romped to a 3-0 victory in the first leg last Friday.
German Ferreyra gave Hearts the lead in the 16th minute, while Yonatan Choen doubled their advantage just after the break, and Mathew Leckie netted the third in the final 20 minutes.
With that result, the hosts are now unbeaten in their last seven games since the end of March and have scored two or more goals in five matches during that period.
Meanwhile, despite having exactly 50% of possession and firing 14 shots at goal, Western United were wasteful in the first leg and now have a mountain to climb to get back in the tie.
That defeat ended Western’s three-match win streak and marked the first time they had conceded three goals in a single game since the start of December against the Big V.
The visitors have now lost each of their last five matches against this opponent, dating back to October 2023.
