A Sports Betting Pick by ArmchairPunter
Football : Australia : A-League
Venue : Macedonia Park
Saturday 11th February 2023, 1930hrs
Saturday night brings us action from Down Under and this upcoming clash between Perth Glory and Melbourne City at Macedonia Park, as the hosts look to extend their unbeaten run in the A-League to seven games, while Melbourne City will seek to further strengthen their grip on top spot with a win here.
Perth Glory have put together a useful set of results in the Australian top flight in recent times and is a refreshing change to their previous indifferent form which saw the west coast outfit manage just a dismal three wins from their preceding 26 games overall.
The hosts have responded with recent victories over Western Sydney Wanderers, Brisbane Roar and Melbourne Victory though, and The Glory will be looking for another positive result over the other Melbourne outfit on Saturday night, especially as they’re unbeaten in their last nine home games.
Melbourne City also have cause to be confident ahead of their upcoming trip to Perth as the visitors are unbeaten in their previous seven games which has not only maintained their position at the top of the A-League standings, but has also opened up a five-point lead over second placed Central Coast Mariners.
Recent wins against Central Coast Mariners, Wellington Phoenix, Western United and Macarthur Rams, the latter being a 6-1 thrashing of the NSW side, should see a Melbourne City outfit brimming with confidence, especially as they’ve lost just once in their last eight outings on the road.
The bigger picture shows Melbourne City have fallen to just three defeats out of their last 17 away games in the domestic top flight and they will take some stopping in Perth I fancy.
The Betting Verdict
Melbourne City have lost just once in their previous five meetings against Perth Glory, winning three of these games, and the visitors look a decent bet to take the spoils in this Saturday’s clash as well.
The Pick :
Perth Glory 1-2 Melbourne City
