The Melbourne Victory continue their Asian Cup campaign with a Matchday 5 clash against Ulsan Hyundai in Korea. Join The Roar for live scores and commentary from 8pm (AEST).
The carrot of qualification for the next stage of the ACL will be too much to see the visitors do anything other than throw the kitchen sink at the home side tonight.
In spite of some humbling domestic form, the Victory have found their mojo and are the hottest team in Australia right now, although Sydney might beg to differ after their demolition of Suwon last night.
The reality for Kevin Muscat’s team is that a win in this match will see them on the verge of moving into the next stage. This would be a wonderful achievement for Australia – Sydney are hoping to do the same, but still require a little luck and a few things to go their way.
Ulsan are struggling badly in the K-League, without a win, and the Victory have accumulated four wins and a draw from their last five A-League matches. The edge in confidence appears to be with the visitors.
The Matchday 1 clash between these two teams produced six goals and a thrilling draw, so Victory will need to be defensively tighter as they can’t rely on three away goals this time around.
Prediction
Ulsan will find the net tonight, yet the visitors are in such good form that they will undoubtedly do the same.
Victory to scrape home in a tight one.
Ulsan Hyundai 1-2 Melbourne Victory
