Melbourne City, Recent FormMelbourne City manager Rado Vidošić will be looking for a better result in this game following a disappointing 1-1 draw in his team's last league outing against Macarthur FC. They achieved 77% possession in that match and had 24 strikes at goal, with 3 hitting the target, up against Macarthur FC's tally of 10 efforts at goal, 1 of which were on target.
Whilst Vidošić will be pleased with his team's performance in front of goal, with them having scored 14 goals in their last 6 games, he will want to tighten up his defence if they are to pick up more points, with 13 in the same period. Their goal scoring streak at home now stands at 20 games in a row. Vidošić will be slightly concerned about his defence, after only managing 2 clean sheets in their last 6 home games.
Their strong run of form at home now gives them an unbeaten streak of 16 games in a row.
Jamie Maclaren will be feeling confident about adding his name to the scoresheet once more at AAMI Park, having notched up 7 goals for Melbourne City in their last 6 league matches at home.
Newcastle United Jets, Recent FormNewcastle United Jets had to settle for a share of the spoils in their last match, which ran out a 2-2 draw against Perth Glory. In that game they had 55% possession and managed 13 attempts on goal, with 6 on target, compared to Perth Glory who had 13 attempts and 4 on target.
Having lost 12 goals in their past 6 matches, boss Arthur Papas will surely be casting a critical eye over his defensive line, even though his team managed to pick up some points along the way due to the 9 goals they scored. They are consistently finding a way through on goal, scoring in each of their last 10 games. As defensive records go, they don't have one to celebrate, with at least 1 goal shipped in 18 of their 21 league matches this season.
This will be regarded as a poor run of form, with 3 defeats from their last 6 matches and just 2 victories.
It was no surpirise that the last time these two teams met Melbourne City came out on top, winning the match 1-2.
The Jets defence has struggled at AAMI Park, having conceded 1 or more goals in each of their last 16 visits. City have a decent scoring record against NU Jets in recent times, having hit the back of the net 13 times in the last 5 matches between the two.
Melb City has won the last 3 games they've played against NU Jets in the league.
Jamie Maclaren is on a hot scoring streak against NU Jets, having scored in each of Melb City's last 4 meetings with them.
With no real injury worries, Melb City manager Rado Vidošić will be happy to have his full squad available for selection.
NU Jets manager Arthur Papas has no real injury worries ahead of this clash.
