The A-League season is still fresh and sports bettors should be cautious. This meeting between Melbourne City and Perth Glory promises to be an interesting one.
- Perth Glory has the most scored goals (10) in A-League
Both teams have had enough rest since their last competitive action. Let's hope for an energetic game!
Everyone involved with the away team has to get their travel gear ready for this match as there's a whopping 3400 kilometers to cover before arriving at the match.
Melbourne City form and stats
1-0-0 (win-draw-lost) are the A-League numbers at home for Melbourne City so far this season.
Melbourne City's previous game was a A-League match also played at home, ending 2-1 versus Western United (placed 7th). The home side are looking to build on that result. Prior to that was the away defeat visiting Adelaide United (0-2).
The home team are moderate favourites in this game. How does Melbourne handle that role? We have found nine games in our database similar to this one, based on the home odds. The stats for these games are six wins, one draw and two defeats.

At AAMI Park, Melbourne City has the goal stats of 2-1 (for/against) from 1 league fixture.
Perth Glory form and stats
It's not happening yet for Perth Glory on their A-League travels, with zero points from their first 2 away games. Maybe today will be different? Perth has lost their two previous away games and are eager to kill a negative trend in its infancy.
Perth play their second straight away game, having lost the previous one 1-2 to Melbourne Victory (placed 9th). It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Western United wasn't a success with a 4-5 loss.
Perth goalkeeper Tando Velaphi had a great day against Melbourne Victory, but despite making six saves the loss could not be avoided.
Perth Glory are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is one win, two draws and three defeats. From a total of six matches.
The schedule is very tough for Perth now as they have to travel again shortly after this match. A A-League game at Newcastle Jets is waiting in only one day.
As for goals scored and conceded in the league games away so far, Perth Glory has managed 5 goals and let in 7 from 2 matches.
Head 2 Head
Head-2-head stats last ten meetings: two - three - five (Melbourne City wins - draws - Perth Glory wins). As for goals, five matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), five had two or less.Top Goalscorers
