Melbourne City, Recent FormHaving secured a 3-1 away win against Western United in their latest league match, Melbourne City will have a positive feeling ahead of this match. In that game they had 71% possession and managed 12 attempts on goal, with 7 on target, compared to Western United who had 11 attempts and 7 on target.
It's been a rewarding period in front of goal for them with 12 goals scored in their last 6 matches; that said, boss Rado Vidošić will be less happy with his defence, who have conceded 6 goals in the same period. Their goal scoring streak at home now stands at 23 games in a row. They are struggling defensively and as a result have failed to keep a clean sheet in their last 13 games.
Their strong run of form at home now gives them an unbeaten streak of 19 games in a row.
When it comes to home matches at AAMI Park, Jamie Maclaren will be feeling confident about finding the net again, with 6 league goals for Melbourne City in their last 6 home games.
Western Sydney Wanderers, Recent FormIn their last league encounter, Western Sydney Wanderers racked up a stunning 4-0 home win against Wellington Phoenix. They came away from that fixture with a 53% share of the possession and clocked up 19 attempts on goal with 12 on target, in comparison to Wellington Phoenix, who managed 13 attempts on goal, 3 of which were 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 7 at the other end which has led to points being dropped. When it comes to attacking performances, they can consider themselves in a good and consistent form, having chalked up goals in 5 of their last 6 matches. They will need to tighten up at the back, having failed to keep a clean sheet in all but 1 of their last 6 away games.
Whilst they have only lost 1 of their last 6 away games there will be concern over the amount of points dropped with 4 draws from those games. Their away form in the early part of the season has produced an unusually high number of draws, with 6 draws in 12 away league games.
Brandon Borrello will be keen to get his name on the scoresheet against Melbourne City in this match, having already scored 5 goals in his last 6 away games for Western Sydney Wanderers.
In the previous encounter between these sides, both teams grabbed goals, with the match finishing in a 1-1 draw.
Melb City have scored in each of their last 8 games at home in the league against The Wanderers. In their recent meetings The Wanderers have struggled to keep City at bay, having conceded 13 goals in their last 5 games.
The Wanderers has had a poor run in this fixture when they visit Melb City, being unable to find a win from any of their last 8 league meetings at AAMI Park.
Jamie Maclaren will be feeling confident about scoring for Melb City ahead of this encounter with The Wanderers, having netted 3 goals in the past 3 league meetings between these two at AAMI Park.
With no real injury worries, Melb City manager Rado Vidošić will be happy to have his full squad available for selection.
