Melbourne City, Recent FormAny Melbourne City pre-match expectations for their last outing were misplaced, after an unexpected 3-2 away defeat by Melbourne Victory. In that game they had 67% possession and managed 20 attempts on goal, with 6 on target, compared to Melbourne Victory who had 6 attempts and 5 on target.
While they have been strong in attack with 16 goals scored in their last 6 games, their defence has let them down slightly, by conceeding 10 at the other end which has led to points being dropped. Their goal scoring streak at home now stands at 18 games in a row. They have not been performing well at all defensively, not delivering a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 matches.
Their strong run of form at home now gives them an unbeaten streak of 14 games in a row.
On an individual basis, Jamie Maclaren has scored in each of Melbourne City's last 9 league games at AAMI Park.
Sydney FC, Recent FormSydney FC manager Steve Corica will be looking for a better result in this game following a disappointing 1-1 draw in his team's last league outing against Brisbane Roar. They came away from that fixture with a 65% share of the possession and clocked up 20 attempts on goal with 7 on target, in comparison to Brisbane Roar, who managed 8 attempts on goal, 4 of which were on target.
It's fair to say that Corica will be pretty happy with his squad's ability to find the net of late, having scored 9 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 7 goals in those same matches as well as some valuable points. They are showing great consistency in finding the back of the net, having scored in 5 of their last 6 games. Their defensive record does not make good reading so far this season as they have conceded at least 1 goal in 15 of their 17 league games.
With an unbeaten league tally of 5 games from 6, their recent form should be viewed positively, especially with 3 wins thrown in.
On an individual basis, Adam Le Fondre will be looking to get on the scoresheet again having scored 3 goals in Sydney FC's last 6 league games.
Sydney FC recorded a 2-1 win last time these two sides went head to head in the league.
Melb City will feel sure their attacking prowess will yield results in this one, having scored at least 1 goal in the previous 8 encounters with The Sky Blues. We have seen plenty of goals from City when they play at home against Sydney. In their last 3 league matches they have scored a total of 9 goals, which is an average of 3 goals per game.
Playing at home, Melb City have won the last 3 and are unbeaten in the last 3 times they have faced Sydney in the league.
With 4 goals from the previous 3 league matches against Sydney at AAMI Park, Melb City player, Jamie Maclaren, will be looking forward to this clash.
With no real injury worries, Melb City manager Rado Vidošić will be happy to have his full squad available for selection.
Sydney manager Steve Corica has no real injury worries ahead of this clash.
