Melbourne Victory vs Adelaide United prediction

On Etihad Stadium is scheduled today in round 8 of the Australia A-league the meeting between Melbourne Victory and Adelaide United. Home team is currently on 2nd place with 13 points, at one point behind first place but a game less played while Adelaide United is the weakest team in A-league, on last place with 3 points after 7 rounds. The coach of Melbourne Victory has all the players available, will miss in this match only defender Nick Ansell and the striker Archie Thompson, players that didn't evolved for hosts in this season. A good news for home team is that the topscorer Besart Berisha is fit again and will be on the field in this match along with the captain Carl Valeri and also the defender Jason Geria, players that have been injured. Adelaide United has some problems in defense where will miss defenders Osama Malik and Iacopo La Rocca while the striker Eli Babalj is also out. Melbourne Victory has won last 5 matches played in all competitions, in 4 of those wins they lead since first half and will meet a much weaker team that come to play this game after they have only defeats in last 4 away matches, in each defeat their opponents had lead since first half. Melbourne Victory has won last 5 matches played on own ground with Adelaide United in previous seasons and now when they are in tremendous shape this should be a easy task for them, so i think Melbourne Victory will lead at half time and at the end (HT/FT: 1/1).
