Melbourne Victory takes on Whittlesea Ranges on Saturday looking to build on some promising recent performances.
Summary
Since the season resumed in June following a postponement due to a coronavirus outbreak in Melbourne, Victory has drawn three consecutive matches.
Victory had chances before drawing 1-1 against the high-flying Preston Lions last time out.
Ryan Lethlean’s composed finish – his second goal of the season – had given Victory the lead, but missed opportunities proved costly and the Lions were reduced to 10 men in the second half.
Victory had dominated most of the first half, but was left with only a share of the spoils for the third straight game.
After the result, Victory sits seventh on the table, while Whittlesea is 11th.
Victory and Whittlesea last met in April, when Ranges recorded a 2-1 win at Epping Stadium.
