Based on their last four games that Melbourne Victory participated in, they were inconsistent, while Western United will aim to secure a win and return to winning ways. Meanwhile, looking at these team’s previous games against one another, they have recorded an ability to score goals. Therefore, I predict both teams to score while I expect multiple goals to be recorded.

My best prediction here is that both teams will settle for a close draw.
