Auckland FC vs Melbourne City prediction

Auckland FC have proven their ability to win ugly and win with style over the past few weeks. After edging past Sydney FC by a goal to nil before drawing 1-1 with the same opponent shortly afterwards, Auckland demonstrated their ability to be ruthless when on their game, thrashing Wellington Phoenix by five goals to nil.

Melbourne City are not playing well right now and are without a win in their last four games, picking up just two points in the process. Averaging three goals conceded per match over that period, Auckland offense should be afforded plenty of joy against such a struggling unit and it’s well worth backing the home side to pick up three points.
