Western Sydney Wanderers vs Melbourne City prediction
Melbourne City are looking to run in back in the 2025-26 campaign and a good start is essential for Aurelio Vidmar’s side against Western Sydney Wanderers. The hosts finished fourth-place in the regular season last time out before losing to Melbourne Victory in the elimination finals. Whilst the campaign served as a solid platform for them to build upon, this represents a tough test.
When taking into account the quality of players at Vidmar’s disposal, it would be no surprise to see Melbourne City dominate the majority of this game, although they will need to defend well to keep WSW at bay throughout the 90 minutes. However, expect Melbourne City to create enough opportunities that should see them win the game, but utilising the draw no bet market for extra security may prove a smart play.
