On Friday, at 10:50, we play on a match in the Australian football championship playoff, played between Melbourne Victory and Wellington Phoenix. The last three direct duels of the two bands ended in a draw (twice 1-1 and once 3-3), and the “GG” bet (both marks) was the winner in each of the previous six games played between two rivals!
Melbourne Victory was also involved in the Asian Champions League this season, where she gave us many spectacular games, in which we took advantage of the odds on the scored goals. Besides, white-blue have the second best attack in the country (50-32 golaver), surpassed only by the leader of Perth Glory, who scored 56 goals in the regular season. Melbourne Victory finished 3rd in the season, while Wellington was the last in the play-off – 6th place. With a 46-43 go-go, Phoenix ended with emotion in front of Newcastle Jets, a club that had hoped for the last the moment he will get to fight for the first positions.
Melbourne Victory wins 1-0 in the last match of the championship on Western Sydney Wandarers after losing to Adelaide United (0-1) and winning in front of Central Coast Mariners (2-1). In the Champions League, Melbourne was eliminated from the Guangzhou Evergrande Chinese tournament, after 0-4 in away and 1-1 in Australia, on the way back. Now, Victory can only concentrate on the championship battle, where he has a hard job.
On the other hand, Wellington did not finish the regular season and lost three of the last four stages played: 0-5 in Perth Glory, 1-2 in Brisbane Roar and 1-3 in Adelaide United. We notice, therefore, that Phoenix is far from being a rebounding team, where it has only won three wins in 13 stages.
There have been four games since Wellington’s last victory in a direct duel with Melbourne (2-1 in January 2018), and Victory is starting once again with the first chance thanks to the top lot in terms of value. Prepared by Kevin Muscat, Melbourne has renowned players such as Raul Baena, Ola Toivonen, James Troisi, Georg Niedermeier, or Keisuke Honda, who could make a difference.
PREDICTION: Melbourne Victory to win @ 1,72
