It’s been a very complicated season for Melbourne Victory. After his first 18 league games, he is in last place in the A-League (out of 12 teams). He has taken only 10 small points since the start of the exercise. To make matters worse, Tony Popovic’s team only took 1 point in their last 2 days. After being hung by Adelaide United (1-1), Melbourne Victory was beaten by Sydney FC (1-0). He only had 3 successes in 8 receptions in the league. This does not bode well before his next league meeting and this poster against Western United. The latter is in 10th place in the A-League. He has 4 points more than his opponent of the day, with one more day. He arrives in much better shape for this 20th day of the Australian championship. He has just won his last 2 meetings against Newcastle Jets (1-3) and against Perth Glory (2-1). He will certainly do everything to continue his good series during this trip to the Melbourne Victory field. He could well manage to take at least one point from this poster. Enough to keep his lead over his opponent of the day.
