The AI's pre-game prediction favored a Melbourne City win, which ultimately did not materialize in this particular match, although they did advance on aggregate. Given the game stats showing Melbourne City's dominance in possession and shots, a draw was perhaps an unexpected result.
Melbourne City's recent form has been strong, with multiple wins in the lead up to this match, and the draw against Western United extends their unbeaten streak. Their upcoming match against Melbourne Victory promises to be a tough contest, judging by the teams' similar rates and the tight head-to-head record. Melbourne Victory's form is more mixed, with recent losses interspersed between wins, suggesting a potentially vulnerable opponent for Melbourne City. Previously, Melbourne City defeated Western United 3-0 in the first leg, building a strong foundation for their advancement. Western United's form has been inconsistent, alternating wins and losses recently, and they are not in the next stage of the tournament.
