Melbourne Victory vs Western Sydney Wanderers Prediction & Betting Tips - A-League
by Thobelani Moyo in Football Predictions
After a dismal 2024 ending, Melbourne Victory will come into this match aiming to secure their first win in the new year as they play host to Western Sydney Wanderers at AAMI Park in the 12th round of the A-League. Melbourne Victory are fourth in the standings, while Western Sydney Wanderers are seventh. Here's our match prediction.
In recent weeks, victory has been elusive for Melbourne Victory, who head into this clash winless in their last three league matches, recording two draws and a solitary loss.
The Big V made ten attempts at goal with only one shot finding the target in a goalless draw against league leaders Auckland FC away from home on Wednesday.
At home, they've won three of their last four matches and only preserved two clean sheets during this run.
Western Sydney Wanderers are low on spirits following a 3-2 home defeat against Macarthur FC. Before this, they were on a four-match unbeaten run, recording three wins and a solitary draw.
However, the Wanderers should be able to get back to winning ways, especially considering they have won four of their last six encounters against Melbourne Victory.
While they did fail to win their first two away matches recording one draw and one loss, they have managed to steady the ship with a two-match winning streak The last time they won three consecutive matches on the road was in 2015.
