Perth Glory vs Melbourne Victory Betting Tips

Perth Glory managed to break out of their six match winless streak on Saturday as they beat fellow strugglers Central Coast Mariners 2-1 at home.

This makes it five losses, one draw, and one win in their last seven matches in all competitions, which includes a 2-0 defeat to Melbourne Victory in the FFA Cup.

This win on Saturday lifted Perth Glory off the bottom of the Hyundai A-League table, and they are now in 9^th, two points behind 8^th placed Adelaide United and with a game in hand on them.

Melbourne Victory won the A-League Premier title and the Championship title last season, and followed this up with an FFA Cup victory against Perth Glory at the start of November.

They are challenging for the top spot in the A-League again as well, with their 16 points seeing them sit in 4^th position with a six point deficit on Western Sydney Wanderers but a game in hand on all the teams around them.

This is thanks to their defeat against the A-League leaders on Saturday, a defeat which made it back to back 2-0 losses for Melbourne Victory.

They have still won six of their last eight games though, so their dip in form isn’t anything to be concerned about just yet.

Perth Glory have been very disappointing this season. They have conceded 11 goals in their last seven matches in all competitions and have failed to score on five occasions.

Their only victory during this period was against the horrible out of form Central Coast Mariners, and coming up against a side of Melbourne Victory’s quality will be an entirely different test.

I’m expecting the visitors to win this match, and odds of 4/5 for this outcome look very fair to me. I’m also going for a 2-0 correct score prediction at 15/2.
