Only in the third round did the team manage to score its first point, drawing with the current champion, Central Coast Mariners (0:0). The second point was scored in an away match with Adelaide United (2:2).

10.00Tip and bets
It is unlikely that there will be any intrigue in this confrontation. The hosts are currently superior to their opponents in all respects and are simply obliged to score three points in this match. The club from Melbourne is one of the three strongest and clearly does not want to fall far behind the championship leader. We believe that Melbourne Victory will be able to cope with the resistance of the outsider.
Our prediction is Asian handicap (-1.5) on Melbourne Victory for 1.72
Bet on total
The visitors are rather weak in defense and regularly concede goals, but they managed to score three goals in the last two matches. The hosts make good use of scoring opportunities, so we believe that in this match we will see at least three goals from today opponents.
Our prediction is total over three goals for 1.67
Bet on the first half
We don't expect the opponents to go forward in force immediately after the starting whistle. It will obviously take time to get to know each other. In this scenario, a draw at the end of the first half is likely.
Our prediction is a draw in the first half at 3.05
