Preview:
Three consecutive losses leaves United sitting fifth on the ladder at 11-12, making this a make-or-break game with only three rounds remaining.
This isn’t a must-win game for Perth, but a victory would go a long way to ensuring the Wildcats keep in touch with the Kings. Unlike Melbourne, Trevor Gleeson’s side has won three on the trot following Saturday’s one-point scare against the Breakers, leaving the visitors as slight favourites on the road.
Perth has won four of the last five meetings between these two including a famous 3-1 series win in last year’s Grand Final. The Wildcats will also be hoping for revenge on their loss to United at home last month that saw them fall by double-digits.
Wildcats fans can rest easy knowing their side has played to a near-perfect 6-1 record as the away underdog against Melbourne. With that in mind, Perth looks well over the odds here.
Tip: Perth Wildcats at $1.82
