The various signs and statistics we have studied point to this being a one-sided affair, with the favoured Melbourne City likely coming out on top away from home. Melbourne City has simply been the superior team this season, whereas Melbourne Victory FC has struggled.

👉 Our prediction is: Melbourne Victory FC to win

In all honesty, there is no other result we can foresee for this match other than Melbourne Victory FC to win outright, which is our betting tip.
