Melbourne Victory is in last place in the Australian A League and saddled with the worst offense (9 goals scored in 10 matches). The defense is actually very good (12 goals allowed) as they keep games close, it's just that wins have been hard to come by. That defense is the fourth-best in the 12-team league. Melbourne Victory comes off of a 1-0 loss to Brisbane Roar with at least one team failing to score in eight of their last nine. In addition, at least one team has been shut out in nine of their last 17 league road contests. Sixth-ranked Adelaide United also takes a defensive approach getting outscored 17-16 through 11 matches. Over the last three games, they beat Perth Glory, 2-0, while getting shut out by the Central Coast Mariners (4-0) and the Newcastle Jets (1-0). Eight of their last 12 home games have seen at least one team fail to score. And these teams have split the last two meetings with a 1-0 Melbourne Victory triumph and a 3-0 Adelaide United win. Bet NO on Both Teams To Score as my Game of the Month.
