Perth Glory vs Melbourne Victory Tips & Predictions


Melbourne Victory will be aiming to cement their top six status when they go on the road to face lowly Perth Glory to conclude A-League Round 17 action on Saturday night.

Victory are backed to secure consecutive wins for the first time under new coach Arthur Diles after Patrick Kisnorbo's shock departure in December. However, Victory are heavy favourites, so we're backing both teams to score for our best bet. Victory almost certainly will get on the scoresheet, while Perth have improved lately, finding the back of the net in six of their last seven games, including scoring twice in a 2-2 draw away to Newcastle last week. Perfect opportunity for Victory to start building momentum once again and I'm confident they take it.

Head To Head


Victory have won the last three meetings between the teams, including a 2-0 triumph at home back in Round 7.

Perth Glory Form


It's been another poor campaign for Perth, but they've showcased some improvement over the last few weeks, along with adding several signings in the transfer window.

Glory claimed the scalp of Auckland FC back in Round 14, conquering the Kiwi club 1-0 at home, while they were able to secure a point in a 2-2 draw on the road against the Jets last week.

The top six is obviously out of reach, but Perth will be hoping to continue their gradual progress and play spoiler for a number of teams for the remainder of the season.

Perth Glory Team News


Patrick Wood, Lachie Wales and Yuto Misao all made their Glory debuts in the draw with Newcastle last week, while fellow new recruits Takuya Okamoto and Tass Mourdoukoutas could join them in this clash.

Melbourne Victory Form


Victory went on a six-game winless run after Kisnorbo departed to be an assistant coach in Japan and the club elevated assistant Arthur Diles as head coach.

It was a tough period for Victory, but they have taken the first steps to rebuilding their season, registering a solid 2-0 triumph over rivals Sydney FC last week.

Nikos Vergos and Bruno Fornaroli got on the scoresheet that night and the strikers will be relishing the chance to find the back of the net against a Perth team that have conceded 37 goals this season (seven more than the next worst).

Melbourne Victory Team News


No concerns at all, with Victory having a full squad fit and available for selection.

Verdict

Great chance for Victory to claim back-to-back wins and begin their climb up the ladder.

Glory have improved lately, but they're still lack the quality to compete with the heavyweight sides. Perth can get on the scoresheet at home, but Victory should have too much firepower.
