Western Sydney Wanderers, Recent FormAny Western Sydney Wanderers pre-match expectations for their last outing were misplaced, after an unexpected 1-0 away defeat by Perth Glory. Their share of possession in that meeting was 49%, while racking up 11 shots along the way, 5 of which were on target, in contrast to Perth Glory, who had 12 shots on goal with 5 on target.
They have circumvented their opponent's defence to score 7 times in their last 6 league games but unfortunately haven't managed to lock things down at their end, conceding 4 goals in these games and, in the process, missing out on some valuable points. They have clocked up an impressive run of form in front of goal at CommBank Stadium recently, having found the net in 5 of their last 6 home matches. With 5 clean sheets so far this season, they have one of the best shut out records in the league.
It's been a mixed run of form for The Wanderers recently with 2 wins, 2 draws, and 2 defeats in their last 6 games.
Melbourne City, Recent FormIn their last match Melbourne City enforced their superiority over Western United with a 4-0 home win. In that game they recorded 53 of the possession, with 14 attempts on goal, 6 on target. Their opponents found the target on 1 of their 10 shots on goal.
Manager Rado Vidošić will be delighted with his team's performances in front of goal, with them having scored 15 goals in their last 6 games, but will want to tighten up his defence with 4 goals conceded in the same period. They are consistently finding a way through on goal, scoring in each of their last 11 games. With 5 clean sheets so far this season, they have one of the best shut out records in the league.
It has been a decent run of form for them recently, notching up 5 wins from the previous 6 matches. They will be very happy with their very strong start to the season, winning 8 of their 10 league games.
On an individual basis, Jamie Maclaren has scored in each of Melbourne City's last league game.
It was no surpirise that the last time these two teams met Melbourne City came out on top, winning the match 1-3.
