Western Sydney Wanderers, Recent FormLast time out for Western Sydney Wanderers resulted in a perhaps unsurprising 4-4 draw against Adelaide United in a match they really wanted to win. During that encounter they had 55% possession and had 13 attempts on goal with 5 on target, while their opponents hit 6 of their 12 shots on goal.
It seems pretty certain that Mark Rudan will be quite pleased with his squad's ability to score goals in recent matches, having managed 9 goals in their past 6 outings. In contrast, however, he will be concerned that their defensive qualities look a little more fragile, with 9 goals conceded in those matches and some crucial points 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 have not been performing well at all defensively, not delivering a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 matches.
Whilst they have only lost 1 of their last 6 games there will be concern over the amount of points dropped with 4 draws from those games.
Brandon Borrello will be keen to add his name to the scoresheet and build on his current scoring record of 4 goals in the last 6 league games for Western Sydney Wanderers.
Macarthur FC, Recent FormThere will be a feeling of disappointment amongst the Macarthur FC players having failed to take any points away from their recent 1-0 home defeat at the hands of Newcastle United Jets. Their share of possession in that meeting was 66%, while racking up 17 shots along the way, 5 of which were on target. Newcastle United Jets had 5 shots on goal with 2 on target.
Supremo Mile Sterjorvski will be closely scrutinising his squad's defensive frailties, his back line having shipped 13 goals in their last 6 matches, despite having picked up some points through the 6 goals they've managed to net. On their travels, they have made a habit of scoring goals, having found the net in 4 of their last 6 outings away from home. 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.
It's been a bad run of form of late for them, having racked up 4 losses and only a single victory in their last 6 league matches, so they'll need to turn things around if they want to start climbing the table.
Having scored 3 goals in his last 6 league games for Macarthur FC, Moudi Najjar will be looking to keep his tally up with a goal in their next outing.
Macarthur FC will be looking to forget their last league encounter with Western Sydney Wanderers, when a slew of goals ended in a heavy 4-0 defeat.
In their previous 3 encounters with The Wanderers, The Bulls have shipped at least one goal in those matches. Playing at home, The Wanderers have failed to score in 2 of their last 3 league games against Macarthur.
With no real injury worries, The Wanderers manager Mark Rudan will be happy to have his full squad available for selection.
Macarthur manager Mile Sterjorvski has no real injury worries ahead of this clash.
