Melbourne Victory vs Western United FC
Australia – A-League
Date: Saturday, 21 May 2022
Kick-off at 08:15 UK/ 09:15 CET
Venue: AAMI Park.
Melbourne have been on a superb stretch of performances lately and they have been finding the back of the net at an impressive rate as well. They had also managed to secure a win in the first leg, and that too on the road.
Now all that remains for them is to carry forward this momentum and hold this lead in front of their home crowd.
Meanwhile, Western United have been struggling quite a bit to register at least one good result once in a while. They have lost most of their games recently and particularly on the road they have been quite a mess.
Moreover, they also have a poor head-to-head record against this rival over the past several seasons.
By the looks of things, expect a win for Melbourne this Saturday.

Melbourne Victory vs Western United FC Prediction & Analysis
Melbourne are on a 3-fixture winning streak, and impressively they are on a 17-game unbeaten run as well. In fact, they had won 8 of their past 10 overall matches.
They were also unbeaten in 13 of the past 15 appearances at home and it needs to be noted that they had scored 3 or more goals in 3 of their past 5 overall games.
On the other hand, Western United winless in 4 of their past 5 overall fixtures, and they had remained so in 5 of their former 6 road trips.
Going on, they have to overcome a one-goal deficit and this will force them to concentrate more on their offense. And this is exactly what the hosts Melbourne want.
They will try to take advantage of the gaps left at the back and this increases the chances for goals to come in plenty. Count on them to register a dominant win this weekend.
