2.07Tip and bets
Melbourne Victory remains one of the leaders of the Australian league. The team is only two points away from first place and can rise to the top already in this round. The guests are now in good shape and are quite capable of beating Sydney, which has scored only one point in three matches. In this confrontation, we will give preference to Victory.
Our prediction is Asian handicap (0) on Melbourne Victory for 1.95
Bet on total
Melbourne Victory have conceded the fewest goals in the league so far - only five. We believe that in this match the team will be able to play carefully at their goal and will not allow a goal extravaganza. Most likely, we will not see many goals in this match.
Our prediction is under 2.5 goals for 2.35
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 2.30
