Macarthur FC, Recent FormMacarthur FC manager Mile Sterjorvski will need to rebuild confidence in his squad after their heavy 6-1 away defeat by Melbourne City. During that encounter they had 35% possession and had 6 attempts on goal with 4 on target, while their opponents hit 9 of their 20 shots on goal.
Sterjorvski will be shining a spotlight on his team's poor defensive record of late, having conceded 15 goals in their last 6 games, despite picking up a modest amount of points due in no small part to the 6 goals they managed at the other end. Having found the back of the net in 5 of their last 6 matches at Campbelltown Stadium, they are developing an impressive scoring record at home. Unable to deliver a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games, it's fair to say they have their troubles at the back.
With 4 defeats and just 1 victory in their last 6 league matches, they have had a poor run and will need to turn that around if they want to start climbing the table.
Wellington Phoenix, Recent FormAny Wellington Phoenix pre-match expectations for their last outing were misplaced, after an unexpected 3-1 away defeat by Melbourne Victory. They came away from that fixture with a 60% share of the possession and clocked up 12 attempts on goal with 3 on target, in comparison to Melbourne Victory, who managed 12 attempts on goal, 4 of which were on target.
It's fair to say that manager Ufuk Talay will be pretty happy with his squad's ability to find the net of late, having scored 8 goals in their last 6 matches. That said, he will also be aware there is still work to do at the back, where they have shipped 9 goals in those same matches as well as some valuable points. They are consistently finding a way through on goal, scoring in each of their last 19 games. As defensive records go, they don't have one to celebrate, with at least 1 goal shipped in 13 of their 15 league matches this season.
It's been a mixed run of away form for Wellington recently, with 2 wins and 2 defeats in their last 6 games 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 league game.
