Western Sydney Wanderers vs Melbourne Victory Prediction

Western Sydney Wanderers showed great determination to get a point against Macarthur, having conceded a late goal in injury time. The stalemate made it two games without a win for Mark Rudan's side but they will fancy their chances of getting back to winning ways against the basement team.

Melbourne Victory have struggled throughout the season, particularly on the road, with a major cause for concern being their inability to find the back of the net frequently.

WS Wanderers will be aiming for victory to consolidate their hold on the playoff spots and also extend their unbeaten run against Melbourne Victory to four games.

We are backing the hosts to claim a comfortable win in addition to a clean sheet.

Prediction: Western Sydney Wanderers 2-0 Melbourne Victory
