Western Sydney Wanderers, Recent FormWestern Sydney Wanderers manager Mark Rudan will be looking for a better result in this game following a disappointing 2-2 draw in his team's last league outing against Macarthur FC. In that game they had 58% possession and managed 18 attempts on goal, with 3 on target, compared to Macarthur FC who had 9 attempts and 6 on target.
While they have been strong in attack with 14 goals scored in their last 6 games, their defence has let them down slightly, by conceeding 6 at the other end which has led to points being dropped. Up front, they have been showing a certain level of consistency in breaching their opponents' defences, with goals netted in 5 of their last 6 outings. When playing at home this season, Western Sydney Wanderers has notched up a tally of 6 clean sheets, highlighting the struggle some of their opponents have had to break through on goal.
Having scored 4 goals in his last 6 league games for Western Sydney Wanderers, Brandon Borrello will be looking to keep his tally up with a goal in their next outing.
Melbourne Victory, Recent FormGrabbing a valuable league point from their recent 0-0 draw against Perth Glory will have been seen as a reasonably decent result for Melbourne Victory. They achieved 61% possession in that match and had 13 strikes at goal, with 3 hitting the target, up against Perth Glory's tally of 7 efforts at goal, 1 of which were on target.
It's reasonable to say they have enjoyed some decent goal scoring form of late, with 6 goals notched up in their last 6 matches, but while their offensive line is working, their defensive setup has shown cause for concern with 6 goals shipped and valuable points dropped. On their travels, they have made a habit of scoring goals, having found the net in 5 of their last 6 outings away from home.
They've had a bad run of form away from home recently, having lost 4 of their last 6 on the road and managing just 1 win.
Goalscorer Bruno Fornaroli will be planning to get himself on the scoresheet once more, having notched up 3 goals in his last 6 league matches for Melbourne Victory.
The 0-1 victory which Western Sydney Wanderers recorded last time these two sides met was no surprise to most.
The Wanderers will be looking to extend their current run of scoring against Victory having scored at least 1 goal in each of their previous 7 meetings. During the last 2 times these two teams have met in the league at CommBank Stadium, Victory have been unable to break through The Wanderers defence and find the back of the net.
Victory have lost the last 3 times they've have visited The Wanderers in the league and have failed to win any of their last 3 encounters at CommBank Stadium.
With no real injury worries, The Wanderers manager Mark Rudan will be happy to have his full squad available for selection.
Victory manager Tony Popović has no real injury worries ahead of this clash.
