Melbourne Victory is back at Epping Stadium again on Sunday, hosting the Preston Lions.
Summary
Victory hosts Preston after playing out back-to-back 2-2 draws following the resumption of the season.
Goals from Matthew Bozinovski and William Wilson saw Victory lead twice against Western United last time out, but the spoils were shared at Epping Stadium.
While Bozinovski marked his return from international duty with a fine header, Wilson curled in a tremendous long-range free-kick for his third strike of the campaign.
Only Luca Da Silva, who was suspended for the clash with Western, and Adem Duratovic have scored more times than Wilson for Victory this season.
The meeting with Preston marks Victory’s second of four consecutive games at Epping Stadium.
Victory is seventh on the table, while the Lions are two points clear at the top.
