Football Bet of the Day: Sunday morning glory for Perth

Perth Glory v Melbourne Victory
Sunday 08:00

Girona's 1-1 draw with Sociedad left us a goal short in Spain last night. We're hoping to make up for that in Australia on Sunday morning, when Perth Glory entertain Melbourne Victory. Midway through the seventh round of the A League season, Perth are running sixth, with Melbourne rock bottom (and winless) in 10th.

The Glory are W2-D1-L3 overall, but a perfect W2-D0-L0 at the Perth Oval. Going back into last term, Kenny Lowe's men have won 8/10 on home turf, only failing to beat a couple of teams who finished in last season's top three. They've won this fixture in each of its last three runnings and we fancy them to make it four straight over Melbourne this weekend.

Kevin Muscat's Victory have managed draws in their first two away games of this campaign, but they came against a pair of teams that have now won only 1/7 home games between them. Victory finished second last season, but tailed off on the road. They're W1-D4-L4 across their most recent nine and we like the price on Perth inflicting another defeat.
