Western Sydney Wanderers vs Melbourne City Prediction

The Western Sydney Wanderers continued their strong form last weekend with a 2-0 defeat of Western United thanks to a goal from full-back Alex Gersbach as well as a Matt Sutton own goal. Their 23 matches so far this season have consisted of 89 goals and they are now unbeaten in their last nine matches. They now face a Melbourne City side that have themselves enjoyed three successive victories ahead of this one, most recently defeating bottom-of-the-table Brisbane Roar by three goals to two. These are two entertaining and attacking sides so both teams scoring would appear a good bet for this one.
