Preview:
Its been two different stories for these sides in season 2019/20 but importantly, neither have enjoyed winning form for a couple of weeks now and that is sure to add to the theatre of this one.
City remain second in overall standings but suffered a pretty convincing loss at the hands of a resurgent Adelaide United in Week 17. They simply could not contain a decent attack and will need to improve noticeably to beat their crosstown rivals.
The Victory stemmed a run of three-consecutive losses with a hard-fought and well earned 2-2 draw against the in-form Glory in Perth. There is no doubt that was one of their best performances of the season so far, and a repeat would see them winning this.
Regardless of form this is always a good contest and I am eager to take the value on offer for the Victory as outsiders.
