The next match in the A-League 2021 season features Melbourne Victory hosting Western Sydney Wanderers at the Marvel Stadium. The match is scheduled to kick off on Friday, April 23 at 7:05 PM local time (2:35 PM IST). Here is the Melbourne Victory vs Western Sydney Wanderers team news and details of where to watch A-League live in India.

Melbourne Victory vs Western Sydney Wanderers prediction and preview

Both teams have struggled in recent weeks and will hope to step up their game with the league approaching the business end of the season. Melbourne Victory have endured a miserable season so far as they find themselves rock bottom in the A-League standings. Melbourne Victory were decimated 7-0 by local rivals Melbourne Victory last week and cannot afford another defeat this season.

On the other hand, even though Western Sydney Wanderers have had a much better season they have witnessed a significant dip in form in recent weeks. Carl Robinson's men are winless in their last five league games (3D 2L), a run that has seen them slip into sixth place in the A-League standings. However, a game against rock bottom Melbourne Victory is the best opportunity for them to return to winning ways. Considering the form of the two teams, our Melbourne Victory vs Western Sydney Wanderers prediction is Melbourne Victory 0-3 Western Sydney Wanderers.
