Central Coast Mariners, Recent FormThere will be a feeling of disappointment amongst the Central Coast Mariners players having failed to take any points away from their recent 3-1 home defeat at the hands of Sydney FC. They achieved 49% possession in that match and had 12 strikes at goal, with 5 hitting the target, up against Sydney FC's tally of 10 efforts at goal, 4 of which were on target.
While they have been reasonably effective at circumventing their opponents defence, scoring 10 in their last 6 games, it's largely been tit for tat with their own defence proving to be equally ineffectual, conceding 5, and leading to valuable points being dropped. Their goal scoring streak at home now stands at 25 games in a row, but they have conceded a goal in 8 of their 10 games at Industree Group Stadium this season.
They have been on a decent run of form lately at Industree Group Stadium, going undefeated in 5 of their previous 6 games there and notching up 4 wins along the way.
Having scored 5 goals in his last 6 league games for Central Coast Mariners, Ángel Torres will be looking to keep his tally up with a goal in their next outing.
Western Sydney Wanderers, Recent FormWestern Sydney Wanderers manager Marko Rudan will be looking for a better result in this game following a disappointing 3-3 draw in his team's last league outing against Newcastle United Jets. They came away from that fixture with a 44% share of the possession and clocked up 20 attempts on goal with 9 on target, in comparison to Newcastle United Jets, who managed 14 attempts on goal, 7 of which were on target.
It's reasonable to say they have enjoyed some decent goal scoring form of late, with 9 goals notched up in their last 6 matches, but while their offensive line is working, their defensive setup has shown cause for concern with 10 goals shipped and valuable points dropped. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 games, and they've kept a clean sheet in 3 of their last 6 games on the road.
With 3 defeats and just 2 wins from their last 6 outings, this cannot be regarded as a good run of form.
Lachlan Brook will be aiming to add his name to the scoresheet again to extend his goal tally of 5 goals in the last 6 league outings for Western Sydney Wanderers.
