Melbourne City were beaten 2-1 by the Central Coast Mariners last week as their woes on the road continued and I'm taking them on in the derby.

Head To Head

Melbourne Victory have triumphed in just two of their last 10 against City, with the latter winning three times and the other five ending as draws.

Melbourne Victory Form

Melbourne Victory have been excellent this season, with nine wins and drawing 11 of their in 23 matches seeing them edge up to third on the ladder.

Their 2-1 win over Perth Glory at the weekend made it two wins in their last three, while they are unbeaten in this time.

With eight points separating them from Melbourne City in seventh, a win in this one could all but secure their top-six berth.

Melbourne City Form

Melbourne City battled hard against the Central Coast Mariners at the weekend, but they ultimately came up short in a 2-1 loss to their hosts.

This loss saw a run of three without defeat brought to an end, although it was hardly surprising following their toothless display against the Newcastle Jets previously in a 0-0 draw.

With seven defeats in 11 away games this season, City have looked wayward on the road.

Verdict

Melbourne Victory v Melbourne City

I am backing Melbourne Victory to take home the derby spoils as they secure their third win in their last four.
