A-League action sees Melbourne Victory take on Perth Glory. Melbourne Victory are on a three-match winning streak, with strong home form. Their forward, Nani, is in excellent form. However, they have three defensive players out due to injury. Perth Glory secured a surprise away win last time out, ending a losing run, with forward, Lawrence, scoring a hat-trick. Yet, they are facing a major injury crisis, with 11 players unavailable, impacting squad depth. Historically, Melbourne Victory have dominated, winning seven of the last ten meetings, with one draw and two losses, suggesting a significant psychological advantage. Both defenses face challenges due to injuries. Melbourne Victory has key defensive absences, weakening their area protection, while Perth Glory's 11 injuries limit their options. In attack, both teams are in good form; Nani is scoring regularly for Melbourne Victory, and Lawrence was on fire for Perth Glory last match. Moreover, four of the last five encounters have seen over 2.5 goals. The quick attacking transitions and injury-related gaps in both teams suggest an open game with many goals expected. Prediction: Over 2.75 goals! Correct score prediction: 2-1, 2-2.
