Melbourne City FC vs Western United FC Preview

It was Western United coming out on top in the Grand Final, but they’ll head into this season opening match as underdogs with Melbourne City’s attacking force predicted to come out firing.

However it would be remiss to completely dismiss the chances of the reigning champions with John Aloisi retaining several of his key contributors from last year’s title.

This has also been a tough matchup for Melbourne City in the last few seasons with Western United winning four of the last five meetings and the nominal visitors look like a much better shot than their $4.20 quote.

Take the champions to pick up at least a point against the premiers.
