Melbourne City is set to host Perth Glory at AAMI Park, aiming to break a three-game winless streak. Despite recent struggles, Melbourne City has had a dominant record against Perth, winning their last four encounters with a combined score of 18-0. However, City's current form might result in a narrow victory this time, mirroring their tendencies for low-scoring games recently. Perth, on the other hand, is recovering from consecutive 1-0 defeats, struggling in the attacking third, and has not scored at AAMI Park since 2022. A 1-0 win for City seems likely.

Melbourne City vs Perth Glory Tips & Prediction


Melbourne City will be aiming to snap a three-game winless run when they welcome Perth Glory to AAMI Park on Sunday in Round 10 of the A-League.

It's been a tricky little period for City, but they will be hoping to bounce back against a side they have completely dominated in recent times. City have won their last four A-League encounters with Perth by an extraordinary 18-0 combined score. However, City's attack isn't firing on all cylinders at the moment and they might need to settle for a low-scoring win this time around if recent performances are any indication. Glory have also come crashing back down to earth over the last fortnight, suffering back-to-back 1-0 defeats against Sydney and Adelaide.

With that in mind, a 1-0 for City looks a good correct score bet here. Aurelio Vidmar's side have exactly one goal in four of their nine A-League games so far this season, while they also defeated Glory by that scoreline in one of their matches last term. Perth haven't scored a goal against City at AAMI Park since 2022, so they will find it hard to make an impact in the final third. Also looks like a great opportunity for top scorer Max Caputo to get back amongst the goals after a mini-drought.
  • City have won the last four A-League meetings between the teams
  • City have outscored Glory 18-0 in that period
  • Glory haven't scored vs City at AAMI Park since 2022
  • Glory have lost their last two games by 1-0 scores
  • City have scored exactly one goal in three of their last four games in all competitions
  • Max Caputo scored a double vs Glory back in Round 2, including the first goal

Melbourne City vs Perth Glory Head To Head

As mentioned, City have been utterly dominant in this H2H in recent times, winning the last four A-League contests - including a one-sided 4-0 triumph back in Round 2.

Melbourne City Form Analysis

City started the season in bright fashion, but they've fallen flat in recent weeks, with perhaps the affect of also competing in the Champions League starting to impact them.

The reigning premiers are winless in their last three games in all competitions and have only managed one win in their last five A-League outings.

It was a disappointing Christmas Derby for City as they conceded late to suffer a 1-0 defeat to rivals Melbourne Victory, while they were unable to return to the winners circle on Tuesday night, sharing the spoils 1-1 with Macarthur.

Socceroos fullback Aziz Behich scored a stunning left-footed free-kick to hand City the lead, but they conceded a few moments later to settle for another draw.

Squads will be announced later in the week.

Perth Glory Form Analysis

Are the wheels starting to fall off for Perth? What was looking like a resurgence has turned into consecutive defeats, with Glory falling from fourth to 10th on the ladder in the last two weeks.

Of course the A-League ladder is so tight that a win this week could propel them back into the top six, but nevertheless, it's not been a great last couple of games for the men in purple.

Adam Griffiths side went down 1-0 to Sydney at home before suffering the same fate against Adelaide last week.

Perth dominated large chunks of the game - Tom Lawrence had several chances, while Brian Kaltek really should have found an equaliser in the 88th minute, but the pair couldn't convert their opportunities.

Squads will be announced later in the week.

Verdict

City are backed to extend their dominance in this H2H with a low-scoring win over Perth.

Max Caputo scored a double vs Glory earlier in the season and can open the scoring again.
