There could be a rugby score at Melbourne Rectangular Stadium on Friday morning

Back Over 3.5 Goals @ 2.466/4 in Melbourne City v Perth Glory

Tobias Gourlay expects a glorious game of football as Perth head to Melbourne for the televised game from Australia

Melbourne City v Perth Glory
Friday 09:50 (Live on BT Sport 1)

You can go to Pret now. And splash out too. Home Utd 3 Albirex Niigata 1 in Singapore at lunchtime.

Something's got to give in Australia on Friday morning, as perfect Melbourne City (W2-D0-L0) entertain unbeaten Perth Glory (W1-D1-L0) at Melbourne Rectangular Stadium. Both sides have scored five times across the A League's first two matchdays and we fancy a few more goals in this one.

Each of their last four league meetings have delivered Over 3.5 Goals and that's the high bar we've got our eye on today.

John van't Schip's hosts saw 9/15 go Over 3.5 Goals on home turf last term. They logged just a couple of clean sheets all season, but scored at least three times themselves in six of the final eight games.

Kenny Lowe's have visitors hit the back of the net on 8/9 away days and can do their bit to get this one up to four match goals - or more.
