Saturday’s Matchday 12 action in the A-League kicks off with Melbourne Victory playing host to Western Sydney Wanderers. The Big V are in sixth place, while the Wanderers are bottom of the standings after 11 games. Let’s get into the match prediction.
Melbourne Victory got the New Year started on a positive note, picking up their fifth league win of the season by beating Perth Glory 3-2 at this venue last Friday.
The Dark Blues are now on a four-match win streak and unbeaten in five, which is a major improvement after only taking three points from their five preceding top-flight games.
The hosts have also won their last three home games ahead of this one and scored 10 goals combined in those fixtures, which accounts for 75% of their tally so far this season.
Meanwhile, after finishing fourth last season, Western Sydney Wanderers are having a stinker in the top flight this term, still only on nine points after 11 games (W2 D3 L6) and bottom of the table.
WSW lost their last match 1-0 to Macarthur at home last week. Notably, they were the league’s top scorers last season with 58 goals, but are the lowest-scoring this term with just eight goals to date.
The visitors have only earned one point from five away games this season, but they are unbeaten in their last three visits to this venue (W2 D1).
