MLC vs MLV Dream11 Tips for Melbourne City vs Melbourne Victory A League Fixtures 17 April

MLC vs MLV Dream11: The Melbourne derby could get messy for Victory who are languishing at the foot of the ladder. They defeated Newcastle Jets last weekend which was their first success in seven matches but this is a hugely difficult contest against a City side with just one loss in nine. They played out a draw with reigning champions Sydney last week in what was just the second time during that run that they failed to collect all three points. City were 0-6 winners when the two teams met last month and they should be able to record another comfortable success here.

Likely Winner:

Melbourne Victory fell to a 6-0 thumping at the hand of the hosts a little over a month ago, and they will need their A-game to prevent another defeat in this fixture. However, considering Melbourne City boasts a better squad and are currently the more in-form side, we predict they grab all three points fairly comfortably. In our MLC vs MLV Today Match Prediction odds, we back for a 3-1 win for the hosts in this match.
