It’s a low absenteeism rate, with just a single fitness concern for the Perth Glory manager Ruben Zadkovich to be concerned about thanks to an almost full-strength group. Adrián Sardinero (Achilles tendon problems) misses out.

📋 Team News: Melbourne Victory

Due to a mostly healthy squad, there is just the sole fitness problem for the Melbourne Victory gaffer Tony Popović to be concerned about. Nani (Cruciate Ligament Rupture) won’t be playing here.

💭 Prediction

Here, we’re thinking that Perth Glory will have a tough ask to put one past this Melbourne Victory team who we reckon will manage to get a goal of their own in a winning performance.

With that in mind, we reckon that it will be a 0-1 win for Melbourne Victory at the end of the 90.

Should be interesting.
