Continuing their five-game winning streak, the hosts are certainly the favorites to win this one too. Melbourne has been absolutely dominating the league after a poor start, and is going for the title after barely missing it last year. Their last game against the first-placed Mariners didn't stop them from getting a persuasive 2-0 victory, and are now going to face the second-placed Wanderers. The guests are having a great season themselves, and are on a three-game winning streak. They are the only undefeated away side in the league right now, with three victories and three draws from six visits. It is important to mention that these two already met just three weeks ago, with Melbourne City taking the spoils in a 0-2 away triumph.

The hosts will be without Nuno Reis and Aiden O'Neill, who have already missed the last game against the Central Coast Mariners. Kisnorbo's men are phenomenal both offensively and defensively this season, being the second-best offense while sharing the league's best defense with Sydney. Led by in-form Jamie Maclaren, who has been absolutely brilliant as a striker this season, they have scored twenty-two goals in just eleven matches. That wasn't the excuse for their defense to perform worse, with the hosts' defense conceding only twelve goals so far. They have kept a clean sheet in all of their previous four matches.

The visitors' only absentee will be Vedran Janjetovic. Wanderers failed to defeat Melbourne in the two sides' previous four duels, and have won just in one of these two's last seven clashes. Robinson's team may have an exceptional away record, but have failed to be the dominant force in their previous three visits. They have drawn against poor Wellington Phoenix and decaying Western United.

I see Melbourne as the huge favorite to win the upcoming duel and I honestly cannot see any other outcome occurring. Good luck!

继续他们的五连胜，东道主当然是最有希望赢得这场比赛。在经历了糟糕的开局后，墨尔本已经绝对统治了联赛，在去年差点错过冠军之后，它正在向冠军进发。他们上一场对阵第一名水手队的比赛并没有阻止他们取得2-0的胜利，现在他们将面对第二名流浪者队。客人们自己也有一个很棒的赛季，并且连胜三场。他们是目前联赛中唯一一支保持不败的客场球队，六场比赛三胜三平。值得一提的是，这两支球队在三周前就已经相遇，墨尔本在客场0-2大胜。

主队将失去努诺。雷斯和艾登。奥尼尔，他们已经错过了对中央海岸水手队的最后一场比赛。本赛季，吉斯诺博的球员在进攻和防守上都是非凡的，在进攻上排名第二，同时与悉尼队分享联盟最好的防守。在本赛季出色的前锋杰米·麦克拉伦的带领下，他们在11场比赛中攻入22球。这并不是他们的防守表现更差的借口，东道主的防守到目前为止只丢了12个球。他们在之前的四场比赛中都没有失球。

客队唯一缺席的将是詹耶托维奇。流浪者队在之前的四场比赛中都没能击败墨尔本队，而且在最近的七场比赛中只赢了一场。罗宾逊的球队可能有一个出色的客场记录，但是在他们之前的三场客场比赛中都没有发挥出统治力。他们已经和可怜的惠灵顿凤凰队和衰败的西联队打成平局。

我认为墨尔本是赢得即将到来的最大热门，老实说，我不认为会有其他结果发生。
