Melbourne Victory vs Western Sydney Wanderers
Melbourne Victory entered a new era in Round 1 under Marco Kurz. Although they could not find a breakthrough, the style of football certainly should excite fans of Victory. The Wanderers win against the Mariners, but the striker Alexander Meier marque was far from impressive and clearly lacked match fitness. Tarek Elrich injury will most likely see a couple of minutes for young promising Daniel Wilmering in defense. This match has the potential to be a low-scoring affair as Melbourne struggled to get shots on target last week, only manage six.
Melbourne Victory vs WS Wanderers Prediction
Hosts failed to hit the ground running in their opener against rival Melbourne City, and had to share the spoils with the latter after the clash ended in stalemate. their enemies for this week, on the other hand, fell to a winning start against the Mariners in their fight at home.
Be that as it may, Marco Kurz's men will believe a change of luck on Friday as the home team has been faring well against this enemy in their previous meeting at this place. The visitors always a group of nerves on their show and finish the previous season with no more than three wins out of thirteen of their clash in the street.
Considering that their last and only win against this enemy in Marvel Stadium came almost six years ago as well, Melbourne Victory must be able to secure the three points without breaking much sweat.
However, a second clean sheet in a row is something that does not look to be in the cards for this week's host. The far side has managed to net at least a consolation goal in seven of their last ten visits here.
Taking into account that they have also found the back of the net in each of the previous nine A-League show them, relying on visitors to go down swinging and to breach the enemy is in the process too.
