Western Sydney Wanderers, Recent FormThe Western Sydney Wanderers squad will be suffering from a feeling of disappointment after falling to a 2-1 away defeat against Sydney FC, which saw them drop all three points and come away from the game empty-handed. In that game they had 41% possession and managed 7 attempts on goal, with 3 on target, compared to Sydney FC who had 18 attempts and 9 on target.
Manager Marko Rudan will be shining a spotlight on his team's poor defensive record of late, having conceded 16 goals in their last 6 games, despite picking up a modest amount of points due in no small part to the 8 goals they managed at the other end. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 games, but they have failed to keep a clean sheet in their last 11 games.
Western Sydney Wanderers will not be enjoying their recent run of poor form at CommBank Stadium, they've lost their last 3 league games in a row there and not had a home win in 6 games.
Melbourne City, Recent FormLast time out, Melbourne City recorded an impressive 8-0 home win against Perth Glory. They came away from that fixture with a 64% share of the possession and clocked up 25 attempts on goal with 11 on target, in comparison to Perth Glory, who managed 9 attempts on goal, 4 of which were on target.
While they have been strong in attack with 18 goals scored in their last 6 games, their defence has let them down slightly, by conceeding 4 at the other end which has led to points being dropped. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 games, but playing away from home, they have conceded a goal in 11 of their 12 games this season.
Their recent poor run of form away from home has left them without an away win in 7 games.
With 7 goals scored in Melbourne City's last 6 outings in the league, Tolgay Arslan has shown a great run of form in finding the back of the net.
After a good 7-0 win for Melbourne City in this pair's last league encounter, Western Sydney Wanderers will certainly be looking for a better result this time round.
With at least 1 goal in each of their last 4 away matches against The Wanderers in the league, City have built a decent scoring record that they will be keen to extend. MCFC have a decent scoring record against The Wanderers in recent times, having hit the back of the net 14 times in the last 5 matches between the two.
In the league, The Wanderers has not won any of the last 4 times they have welcomed MCFC to CommBank Stadium.
MCFC player Jamie Maclaren has scored 2 times in the previous 3 matches against The Wanderers away at CommBank Stadium in the league and will be looking for more of the same in this match.
With no real injury worries, The Wanderers manager Marko Rudan will be happy to have his full squad available for selection.
MCFC manager Aurelio Vidmar has no real injury worries ahead of this clash.
