Peter Green - October 16, 2019
Melbourne Victory vs WS Wanderers
Australia – A-League
Date: Friday, 18 October 2019
Kick-off at 09:30 UK / 10:30 CET
Venue: Marvel Stadium (Melbourne).
With Melbourne Victory disappointing their home fans in their most recent fixture, the squad are bound to welcome WS Wanderers, with their guns blazing, on Friday, as they seek their maiden points of the season.
The hosts failed to hit the ground running in their opener against rivals Melbourne City, and had to share the spoils with the latter after the clash ended in a stalemate. Their foes for the week, on the other hand, got off to a winning start against the Mariners in their respective matchup at home.
Be that as it may, Marco Kurz’s men will be confident of a change in fortune on Friday as the home team have been faring well against this foe in their prior meetings at this venue. The visitors have always been a nervous bunch in their outings and finished the previous season with no more than three wins from their thirteen clashes on the road.
Considering that their last and only win against this foe at the Marvel Stadium came almost six years ago as well, Melbourne Victory should be able to secure all three points without breaking much of a sweat.
However, a second consecutive clean sheet is something that does not look to be on the cards for the hosts this week. The away side have been successful in netting at least a consolation goal in seven of their last ten visits here.
Taking into account that they have also found the back of the net in each of their previous nine A-League outings, count on the visitors to go down swinging and to breach this foe in the process as well.
