Melbourne Victory will be out to build on their three-game winning streak when they entertain Perth Glory.
Following a slow start to the season, Victory have climbed to seventh on the A-League ladder after winning three games on the spin.
They will now be confident of making it four against a side they have had the edge over in recent seasons.
Glory themselves are a team very much on the up under the leadership of new head coach Adam Griffiths.
They have won three of the last five games, including an impressive 3-1 win over Melbourne City in their last match and now they return to AAMI Park, looking to do the same to Victory.
Melbourne Victory vs Perth Glory Tips Summary
Best Bet – Under 2.5 goals @ 2.10

Bet Builder Tip – Melbourne Victory to win, Nikos Vergos to score anytime, Scott Wootton to be booked @ 11.00
Melbourne Victory vs Perth Glory Prediction
Best Bet: Under 2.5 goals @ 2.10
The hosts head into the game on this back of a 5-1 win over Wellington Phoenix, while Glory ran out 3-1 winners against Melbourne City.
However, in general, both sides have struggled to score goals this season, with six out of 10 of their fixtures having seen under 2.5 goals scored.
On average, Glory have been scoring one goal a game, Victory just over one, so another low-scoring game could be on the cards.
Victory have won the last three meetings 2-0, which makes under 2.5 goals in this clash the Best Bet.
Alternative Bet: Melbourne Victory to win to nil @ 3.40
The Victory have dominated the Glory in recent seasons and, including friendly matches, have won the last six on the bounce.
Glory showed what they are capable of when beating Melbourne City at AAMI Park, but it will be a huge ask to do it again.
Victory are on fire having won the last three games on the bounce and are a good bet to make it four.
Glory managed to score three goals in the win over City, but they failed to hit the back of the net in their two previous games.
The men from the west have struggled in front of goal at times and Victory will be confident of shutting them out.
A Victory win while keeping a clean sheet is a great Alternative Bet.
Melbourne Victory vs Perth Glory Bet Builder Tip
Melbourne Victory have won their last three A-League games and their last four against Perth Glory.
Well-travelled Greek striker Nikos Vergos is bang in form after scoring a hat-trick in the thrashing of the Phoenix and two against Adelaide United to make it five goals in three games.
Glory’s English defender Scott Wootton has already picked up four yellow cards in 10 games this season, so looks a good candidate for another caution.
