Jamie Maclaren to Score Anytime

Melbourne City’s key striker’s tally is impressive, to say the least. With 16 goals to his name in the 2022/23 campaign, Jammie Maclaren’s performance is second to none. The only player that comes even remotely close to these numbers is Central Coast Mariners’ Jason Cummings but even he is trailing by six.

Our key Melbourne Victory vs Melbourne City prediction this week is for this fascinating player to score at least one goal against the troubled Melbourne Victory side in this local derby.

Predicted Lineups, Team News, and Last Result

Melbourne Victory

The four-time Aussie champions have seen better days. There’s no doubt about that. How else would you put it when a former champion is at the bottom of the table in the league? With four victories, two draws, and nine losses in 14 matches so far, coach Anthony Popovic’s boys simply don’t look up to par with the rest of the teams in the league and it’s no wonder why our Melbourne Victory vs Melbourne City predictions are favoring the visitors.

Predicted lineup – Acton (GK), Cadete, Roderick, Da Silva, Chapman, Brillante, Broxham, Folami, Brimmer, Velupillay & Fronaroli

Melbourne City

The leaders in A-League thrashed an in-form Perth Glory 2-4 on the 11th of February and it’s the performance that counts the most. With 59% possession and 13 shots on target, Melbourne City could’ve easily scored a bunch more. It’s a performance that illustrated perfectly why coach Rado Vidosic’s boys are at the top of the table and why the top Melbourne Victory vs Melbourne City predictions are completely disregarding the home team’s chances.

Predicted lineup – Glover (GK), Bos, Jamieson, Lam, Reis, O’Neill, Leckie, van der Venne, Berisha, Nabbout & Maclaren

Player to Watch: Matthew Leckie

Jamie Maclaren is the name everyone’s talking about these days but we should give credit where credit is due – Matthew Leckie is the brains behind it all. Melbourne City’s key creative player has five assists to his name while also doing a fine job when it comes to finishing the attacks. After all, he scored four goals and is putting pressure on his colleague Richard van der Venne for 2nd place in the goalscoring department.
