Melbourne Victory vs Western United Prediction & Betting Tips - A-League
by Thobelani Moyo in Football Predictions
Melbourne Victory and Western United, two sides aiming to return to winning ways in the A-League will square off at AAMI Park on matchday 13. Melbourne Victory is fourth in the league standings, while Western United is sixth. Here's our match prediction.
Melbourne Victory head into this clash with disappointment written on their faces after dropping points in a nail-biting 2-2 home draw against Western Sydney Wanderers.
It's safe to say the hosts' confidence has dropped significantly considering they are winless in four league matches, recording three draws and a solitary loss.
However, the Big V have been unassailable at home this season. They are unbeaten in five games (W3, D2) with nine goals scored during this run. The last time they suffered defeat on home soil in the A-League was in April 2024 against Western Sydney Wanderers.
It was a dreadful display from Western United in their recent match against Melbourne City, who only managed two shots on target in a convincing 2-0 away defeat.
In light of that result, John Aloisi's men pulled the plug on a four-match winning streak in the league. They will aim to rekindle their confidence in this matchup where they've won four of their last seven matches across all competitions.
Away from home, they've been in top form, winning four of their last five matches. However, they've preserved one clean sheet during this run.

Our Melbourne Victory vs Western United Prediction
Melbourne Victory has the chance to unseat Melbourne City in second place by securing maximum points in this matchup. Such a feat should be attainable, having won 3-1 in the reverse fixture.
