Melbourne City vs Western United Preview

Just over 10 years since their first A-League match as Melbourne Heart, the City side may never have a better chance to claim their first A-League trophy in their history.

They take on a Western United side who will be coming off a draining and bruising Elimination Final win over Brisbane and have the confidence of winning all three meetings against them this season.

With less than 72 hours to recover from that 1-0 over the Roar, courtesy of Allesandro Diamanti’s spectacular free kick, it’s hard to see Western United having the legs to compete with City here.

The only thing that will stop City running away with this one is their own level of composure seeing the finish line so close.

But with the A-League golden boot winner Jamie Maclaren on fire at the moment, he has the ability and the temperament to pull out a moment of magic to get things going.

All three meetings during the season had three or more goals and we’ll also back that outcome here as City’s fresh legs make all the difference late.
