 Melbourne City |
|  Mel Victory |
Betting suggestion:
This final promises a very difficult outcome to predict regarding the winner. Melbourne City has the advantage of having been more consistent and solid during the regular season. However, Melbourne Victory performed better in the two encounters against Melbourne City. Furthermore, the way Melbourne Victory eliminated Auckland commands respect. Therefore, as this is a three-way betting market, the best opportunity may lie in the goals market, since both teams have strong attacking qualities and proved this in the semi-final matches as well.

Analysis Melbourne City
The home team comes to this stage of the A‑League (Grand Final) after having eliminated Western United with a home draw by (1‑1) and a away win by (0‑3) in the previous round. In the last 10 home league matches Melbourne City has a record of 7 wins, 2 draws and 1 loss, so they have won 23 points out of 30 possible.

Their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored goals in 8 of the last 10 matches for this competition. 10 of their last 14 matches for this competition have ended with Under 2,5 goals, so there is a tendency for few goals in their home matches.

Melbourne City was, alongside Auckland, the most consistent and solid team in the A-League. In fact, Melbourne City was always a very difficult team to beat, with a very strong home record showing good defensive consistency, but also, away from home, they proved to be a "robust" side capable of regularly picking up points. It was no surprise they finished in 2nd place and reached the finals. There, they faced Western United, another strong team that showed great solidity. However, Melbourne City demonstrated their strength and, in the first leg at their opponent’s ground, they practically settled the tie by winning 0-3. Now, they arrive at this grand final to face their eternal rivals, Melbourne Victory, in a match where there should be no clear favourite, making it a three-way betting game.
Confirmed Lineup: Patrick Beach, Kai Trewin, Aziz Behich, Germán Ferreyra, Nathaniel Atkinson, Andreas Kuen, Steven Ugarkovic, Mathew Leckie, Max Caputo, Yonatan Cohen, Marco Tilio.
Coach: P. Kisnorbo.

Melbourne Victory was not as consistent throughout the season as, for example, Melbourne City or even Auckland. However, they deserve great credit for reaching the finals, where they faced the tough task of playing against the team that had been the strongest in the regular season, finishing in 1st place, Auckland. Despite losing the first game at home, Melbourne Victory managed to turn things around by winning 0-2 away at Auckland, thus securing their place in this grand final. Now, anything is possible, as it is a final, and usually in these types of matches there are no favourites, especially when two high-quality rival teams face each other. However, Melbourne Victory performed better in the direct encounters with Melbourne City during the regular season, winning 1-3 away and drawing 1-1 at home.
Confirmed Lineup: Jack Duncan, Joshua Rawlins, Kasey Bos, Roderick Miranda, Lachlan Jackson, Jordi Valadon, Zinédine Machach, Ryan Teague, Clarismario Rodrigus, Daniel Arzani, Bruno Fornaroli.
Coach: T. Popović.
