Where: AAMI Park
Preview:
The final match of the week could also prove to be one of the best when the Glory travel east to play reigning champions the Melbourne Victory.
The Glory look capable of a huge season but were held to a draw by a desperate Wanderers side at home, last weekend. They’ll take plenty of benefit from the run and they do look big overs at their current $4.40 price.
The Victory were outdone by their crosstown rivals in Week 1, but they did show glimpses of a team that is capable of successfully defending their title. Their combinations with their new stars will continue to gel and an improvement from last weekend’s run would find them tough to beat at home.
There should be plenty of opportunities for both sides on-goal and I’m anticipating a high scorer.
