Auckland FC vs Melbourne City Preview

Auckland’s form slump continued last weekend as they fell to the lowly Perth Glory out west, and things won’t get any easier when they take on an in form Melbourne City.

It is just over a month since these two sides met at AAMI Park where City became the first team to take points off the A-League debutants, sparking a slump that is still going.

Making things even tougher is the fact that Auckland will go into this match without captain Hiroki Sakai joining an already lengthy injury list after picking up a concussion.

Not that Melbourne City will offer up a whole lot of sympathy with a long list of absentees of their own, however their academy system has come through in a big way, populating the team and helping them to three straight wins.

While the trip to Auckland is going to be daunting, there is no way City should be such clear underdogs in this market and they are well worth having a go on.
