Melbourne Victory FC vs Melbourne City FC Prediction: A high scoring derby match

On Saturday, the A-bottom-dwelling League's Melbourne Victory will host the top-of-the-table Melbourne City in a local derby. Expert betting tips and odds are provided below.

Fans had high hopes that the three points they had earned the week before would mark the beginning of a run, but the team's inability to maintain consistency proved to be a problem that persisted throughout the season.

There is, however, no better moment to bounce back than on the day of the derby, especially considering that their adversaries were the ones who came out on top the last time these clubs competed against each other.

The Melbourne Victory have only been victorious at home twice this entire season, but one of those victories was a very remarkable 3-1 victory over the Wellington Phoenix when they most recently competed at the Melbourne Rectangular Stadium.

The away club is not only one of the most defensively sound teams in the A-League, but they also have the greatest offensive in the league, having scored 37 goals already this season. As a result, the away team will be a significant danger to the home side this weekend.

This has been made very obvious by the fact that Melbourne City has scored a total of nine goals in only their most recent three matches, with four of those goals coming in their most recent appearance.

They secured an eight-point lead at the top of the table with a game in hand on their next closest challenger to the title after the Hearts defeated the Perth Glory with an amazing 4-2 victory. The Hearts had four different players score goals in the victory.

In recent games, Melbourne Victory has not been the best team at preventing goals from being scored by their opponents. But, they have done enough to turn most of their own scoring opportunities into goals. In their most recent run of six matches, Melbourne Victory have been on the losing end of six different goals while also finding the back of the net in five of those contests. In any case, the only thing we can do at this point is wait to find out whether or not the pattern will continue in this particular match. As a result of this, we anticipate a victory for the team that is now leading the league along with goals coming from both sides of the net.
