Under 3.5 Bookings
Melbourne Victory are the 3rd-least booked team this season. Coach Anthony Popovic’s iron discipline led to Melbourne Victory’s players getting booked only 45 times in the 2022/23 A-League campaign.
In comparison, Adelaide United are most likely to get booked in the Aussie league as they already saw a red or yellow card on 66 occasions. Furthermore, we believe Sunday’s showdown will be a gentleman’s duel as even Perth Glory’s last match barely had two yellow cards after 90 minutes of football.
Melbourne Victory/Melbourne Victory
The four-time A-League champion is the one who’s under the spotlight in this Melbourne Victory vs Perth Glory prediction. Coach Anthony Popovic’s fantastic 8-4-6 record over Perth Glory is about to be improved as there’s nothing to suggest a Perth Glory in on Sunday.
The last 10 games between the two teams ended with five Melbourne Victory wins, one draw, and four Perth Glory triumphs. Furthermore, Melbourne Victory will count on the home-field support to be the difference-maker.

Draw odds: 27/10 (3.70) – 26.0%
Perth Glory odds: 61/20 (4.05) – 23.0%

In comparison, Perth Glory’s odds at 61/20 (4.05) mean there’s a slight 23.0% likelihood that the visitors will win.
Melbourne Victory vs Perth Glory Lineups & Team News
Melbourne Victory
Victory’s last A-League clash was the local derby versus Hearts but prior to that, coach Anthony Popovic’s boys had to face the difficult Wellington Phoenix challenge on the 1st of April. It ended with a difficult but sweet 1-2 victory over the Wellington team but the result could’ve just as easily been something else on a different day.
Melbourne Victory barely had 39% possession and 451 passes and Popovic should be happy that at least his players were thrifty to exploit the chances they had in the penalty box.
Predicted lineup – Izzo (GK), Cadete, Roderick, Da Silva, Chapman, Folami, Brillante, Broxham, Oikonomidis, Fornaroli & Adams
Perth Glory
We didn’t mention this in our Melbourne Victory vs Perth Glory predictions but coach Ruben Zadkovich’s boys were actually quite impressive in their last A-League match. It was the 2-1 win over Macarthur and while the Bulls aren’t exactly a world-class team, a victory for Perth Glory is a rare occasion these days that deserves recognition.
Predicted lineup – Cook (GK), Muir, Lachman, Beevers, McEneff, Ostler, Clisby, Amini, Jelacic, Williams & Taggart

Player to Watch: Bruno Fornaroli
With Nani and Jake Brimmer out injured, it’s up to Bruno Fornaroli to step up and fill the holes in the attack. Melbourne Victory’s striker has been doing his job well and he’s one of the few players on the team who hardly deserve criticism this season.
Our top Melbourne Victory vs Perth Glory predictions are safe as long as he’s on the pitch. After all, he did score seven times this season alone and will be eager to try out his skills against one of the weakest A-League sides on Sunday.
