APWin Prediction

Melbourne Victory FC Win

The APWin team has examined the key betting markets and identified the most valuable opportunities.

👉 Our prediction is: Melbourne Victory FC to win the 1st half

Melbourne Victory FC is a tough opponent to face, particularly away from home. They have enough dangerous attacking weapons to deal some damage up front, while the defence is quite solid as well.

It would not be a shock if they come in and give their hosts Wellington Phoenix a bit of a scare in the early going.

That is why we recommend taking Melbourne Victory FC to win the first half.

👉 Our prediction is: Both teams to score

The match between Wellington Phoenix and Melbourne Victory FC has all the necessary ingredients for plenty of goals. And of course: for both sides - and that's the focus of our bet here.

Therefore, we believe that the Both Teams to Score market is the best recommendation here, as the attacks are working well and, on some occasions, the defenses have been making mistakes.

That's why we're going with BTTS.
