Melbourne City, Recent FormMelbourne City have set themselves up nicely for this match by securing a 2-1 home win against Melbourne Victory in their previous league match. During that encounter they had 68% possession and had 2 attempts on goal with 1 on target, while their opponents hit 2 of their 4 shots on goal.
Rado Vidošić will be quite satisfied with his squad's offensive prowess in recent performances. They have managed to notch up 11 goals from their last 6 outings. However, the manager will know they have work to do at the back where they have let in 10 goals and, as a result, lost some important points. Their goal scoring streak at home now stands at 22 games in a row. They are struggling defensively and as a result have failed to keep a clean sheet in their last 10 games.
Their strong run of form at home now gives them an unbeaten streak of 18 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 5 goals for Melbourne City in their last 6 league matches at home.
Wellington Phoenix, Recent FormAny Wellington Phoenix pre-match expectations for their last outing were misplaced, after an unexpected 2-1 home defeat by Melbourne Victory. Their share of possession in that meeting was 61%, while racking up 12 shots along the way, 4 of which were on target. Melbourne Victory had 15 shots on goal with 6 on target.
Manager Ufuk Talay will be reasonably pleased with his team's attacking displays in recent matches, with them having managed to score 9 goals in their last 6 games, but he will have work to do defensively after they conceded 9 goals in those games and dropped some valuable points along the way. Their ongoing goal scoring streak now stands at 26 games in a row. Having shipped at least a single goal in 18 of their 22 league matches this season, they don't have an enviable defensive record this campaign.
Their form away from home has been of some concern, having recorded just 2 wins and 3 defeats in their last 6 matches on the road.
On an individual basis, Oskar Zawada is on a hot scoring streak recently having scored in each of Wellington Phoenix's last 2 league games.
The last time these sides were pitched against each other in the league, it ended in a 1-3 win for Melbourne City.
