Perth Glory vs Melbourne Victory Prediction
Perth Glory come into this one on the back of a 2-2 draw with the Newcastle Jets in New South Wales last week in a game in which they were 1-0 and 2-1 down. The Western Australians have managed just two victories in their 15 matches so far this season. They now face a Melbourne Victory side that earned themselves a comfortable 2-0 win over Sydney in Victoria last week which ended six-match winless run of form since defeating Perth in early-December. Siding with the visitors is the way to go for this one.
