Auckland vs Melbourne Victory prediction

As a part of the Bill Foley multi-club ownership model alongside the likes of AFC Bournemouth and Lorient, Auckland have enjoyed an extremely impressive first ever season as a franchise, sitting at the top-of-the-table throughout the A League regular season. In contrast, the Melbourne Victory, now part-owned by Brighton and Hove Albion owner Tony Bloom, squeezed themselves into the top six and then past the Western Sydney Wanderers in the elimination.

In the first-leg of this semi-final, Auckland defeated the Melbourne Victory by a goal to nil at the Melbourne Rectangular Stadium last weekend thanks to a 64th minute winning goal scored by attacking midfielder Logan Rogerson.

Auckland’s defensive performances have been supreme throughout the campaign and now set up to defend their lead and counter-attack, siding with the New Zealanders would be the way to go for this one.

Auckland vs Melbourne Victory tip: Auckland to win & under 3.5 goals
