Melbourne Victory have started the 2024/25 A League campaign with four victories, a draw and a defeat in their opening six matches. Their most recent outing saw the hosts comfortably defeat Western United by three goals to one last weekend. They now face a Perth Glory side that remain winless with just two points collected and Melbourne Victory, especially with their home advantage, is the expected outcome for this one.
