Melbourne Victory Youth welcome Northcote City on Monday, Aug 17 at 12:30 PM in a Victoria Premier League One fixture that's tighter on paper than the positions suggest — just 1 point split them in the table.
Melbourne Victory Youth come into this fixture in mixed form (2W 1D 2L). Northcote City, meanwhile, arrive in mixed form (2W 2D 1L) — actually the better-performing side in recent weeks.
Despite playing at home, Melbourne Victory Youth face a side that has dominated this fixture historically. Northcote City have won 6 of 8 encounters. Their last encounter ended in Melbourne Victory Youth won 0–1. These two tend to produce goals — averaging 3.0 per game in recent meetings.
Verdict: This looks an evenly matched contest. Home advantage gives Melbourne Victory Youth a slight edge, but Northcote City are capable of causing problems. A draw would be a fair result.
