Central Coast Mariners, Recent FormCentral Coast Mariners will certainly have been pleased to secure 3 points from their most recent encounter, which saw them run out 3-1 winners in their home fixture against Newcastle United Jets. During that encounter they had 56% possession and had 13 attempts on goal with 8 on target, while their opponents hit 3 of their 6 shots on goal.
It's fair to say that manager Mark Jackson 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 11 goals in those same matches as well as some valuable points. Their goal scoring streak at home now stands at 18 games in a row, but they've also conceded a goal in each of the last 8 games at Industree Group Stadium.
Losing 4 of their last 6 games will be causing some concern in the CC Mariners camp, but their 2 wins salvaged some valuable points.
Melbourne Victory, Recent FormLast time out for Melbourne Victory resulted in a perhaps unsurprising 1-1 draw against Macarthur FC in a match they really wanted to win. They came away from that fixture with a 58% share of the possession and clocked up 20 attempts on goal with 6 on target, in comparison to Macarthur FC, who managed 12 attempts on goal, 7 of which were on target.
They may consider themselves adept at breaking through their opponent's defences, having scored 10 goals in their last 6 outings, but they have had their own defensive frailties to worry about, having conceded 7 and seen valuable points lost. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 away games but failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of those games.
There will be mixed feelings from Victory, while they've been undefeated in their last 5 league games, they've only manage a drawn in 3 of them.
Bruno Fornaroli is the man of the moment right now and the toast of the fans, having notched up 6 goals in Melbourne Victory's last 6 league matches.
Last time these two teams played each other in the league Melbourne Victory sprung a suprise, upsetting the form book by winning the game 2-0.
Goals should be on the cards for Victory in this one, given they have found the net, with at least 1 goal, against CC Mariners in their last 25 meetings together.
In this away league fixture, Victory has not won in the last 4 times they have played CC Mariners at Industree Group Stadium.
With no real injury worries, CC Mariners manager Mark Jackson will be happy to have his full squad available for selection.
Victory manager Tony Popović has no real injury worries ahead of this clash.
