👉 Our prediction is: Both teams to score

The best betting option for Melbourne City vs Gangwon is the Both Teams to Score market - BTTS. After all, both teams need to seek victory and shouldn't 'park the bus' waiting for the opponent.

But that's not the only reason we believe in a game with goals for both teams. We also see value odds in the BTTS market when we have two offensive teams, as is the case with Melbourne City and Gangwon in this game.

To guarantee a win on Both Teams to Score, as the name suggests, we need both Melbourne City and Gangwon to score goals.

👉 Our prediction is: Over 2.5 goals in the match

Melbourne City and Gangwon are two attacking sides who have what it takes to make this an entertaining and eventful match.

That's why we highly recommend taking the bet of over 2.5 goals. The bet wins if there are 3 or more goals scored in the match, and if there are 2 goals or fewer, the bet loses.
