Our Prediction
Melbourne Renegades are favourites to win
Will Renegades record their first win over Scorchers?
Melbourne Renegades will take on Perth Scorchers in the 9th fixture of the ongoing Big Bash League 2016-17. The match is scheduled to be played on December 29 at the former's home ground - Docklands Stadium, Melbourne. Live telecast starts at 7:10 PM local time.
Toss
The team batting first has scored 170 or more in four out of the past five matches to be played at the Docklands Stadium which is a good enough indication that the pitch has been batsman-friendly. Also since the last two matches here have been won by the side that has batted first, the toss-winning skipper may prefer setting up a target for the opposition.

Melbourne Renegades Team News & Playing 11
Team News
Melbourne Renegades seem to be in good shape with no injury worries. Fast bowler James Pattinson who missed the opening fixture against Sydney Thunder could return for this match and this will probably be the only change in their playing eleven.
Key Players
Aaron Finch blasted 63 off 37 deliveries against Sydney Thunder to guide Melbourne Renegades to 179. The skipper seems to be in magnificent form and we predict him to score plenty of runs on Thursday as well. Dwayne Bravo, Sunil Narine and Brad Hogg all took two wickets apiece and the trio is likely to trouble Perth Scorchers the most in this match.
Recent Form
Melbourne Renegades had lost all their four matches at the Docklands Stadium last year. They have put an end to their losing streak at this ground by beating Sydney Thunder in their first game of this year's Big Bash League. Their bowlers had a good game, bowling the opposition out for just 130.
Melbourne Renegades Predicted XI
-
MS Harris, AJ Finch (c), CL White, CJ Ferguson, DJ Bravo, TLW Cooper, PM Nevill (wk), CP Tremain, SP Narine, James Pattinson and GB Hogg.
Perth Scorchers Team News & Playing 11
Team News
None of their players are reported to be injured at the moment and the team will be going into this match full strength. Perth Scorchers are unlikely to tweak their playing eleven.
Key Players
Ian Bell, who has scores of 61 and 21 in two games, is currently the leading run-scorer for the Scorchers in BBL this year and another good knock from him could be around the corner. While Mitchell Johnson shone with the ball in the first game, it was Andrew Tye who delivered the goods in the second. Both have picked up three-wicket hauls each and we predict one of these two pacers to be the top bowler for their side.
Recent Form
Perth Scorchers are placed fifth in the league standings with two points from as many matches. They started off with a bang, defeating the Adelaide Strikers by 48 runs before going down to Sydney Sixers by six wickets.
Perth Scorchers Predicted XI
-
M Klinger, SE Marsh, SM Whiteman (wk), IR Bell, DJ Willey, MR Marsh, AC Voges (c), AJ Turner, AC Agar, JA Richardson and AJ Tye.
Melbourne Renegades vs Perth Scorchers Head-to-Head
Melbourne Renegades have never beaten Perth Scorchers in the history of the Big Bash League. The two teams have met five times in the past and the Scorchers have emerged winners on all five occasions. So Perth Scorchers will be heading into this match with a 100% win record over Melbourne Renegades.
Melbourne Renegades vs Perth Scorchers Betting Odds
Despite the fact that Perth Scorchers have always got the better of Melbourne Renegades in the past, they still start outsiders for this match at 2.06 with 1xbet and 2.00 with bet365. The latter will have the advantage of playing at their home ground where they outplayed Sydney Thunder in their opening game of the season. Melbourne Renegades are favorites to win this match at 1.92 with betfair and 1.85 with bet365.
Melbourne Renegades vs Perth Scorchers Prediction
Melbourne Renegades haven't done well at this ground in recent times, having lost four of their previous five games here. Nor have they done well against the Perth Scorchers who have beaten them on all five occasions in the past. But with the likes of Finch, Bravo, Narine and Hogg among their ranks, they do appear slightly stronger on paper than the Scorchers this season. And with a win under their belt, they will be taking the field on Thursday all fired up and we feel they have a great chance to pull off their first win against the Scorchers.
