MELBOURNE VICTORY VS MACARTHUR PREDICTION
Melbourne Victory come into this one on the back of an impressive and comprehensive 3-0 defeat of Melbourne City in the Melbourne derby last weekend in a game in which they raced into a 3-0 lead inside 25 minutes. They face a Macarthur side that began with a 6-1 demolition of Perth Glory but they now come into this one on the back of a 2-1 defeat at home to the Newcastle Jets. Backing Melbourne Victory, especially with their home advantage, seems the way to go for this one.
