Melbourne Victory, Recent FormLast time out for Melbourne Victory resulted in a perhaps unsurprising 1-1 draw against Adelaide United in a match they really wanted to win. During that encounter they had 43% possession and had 22 attempts on goal with 7 on target, while their opponents hit 3 of their 12 shots on goal.
It's fair to say that manager Tony Popović will be pretty happy with his squad's ability to find the net of late, having scored 11 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 8 goals in those same matches as well as some valuable points. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 games but failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of those games.
They have had a good run of form at AAMI Park recently, unbeaten in 5 of their last 6 home games and picking up 3 wins along the way.
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.
Wellington Phoenix, Recent FormIn their previous league fixture, Wellington Phoenix managed a remarkable 5-2 home win against Brisbane Roar. They achieved 47% possession in that match and had 9 strikes at goal, with 7 hitting the target, up against Brisbane Roar's tally of 17 efforts at goal, 5 of which were on target.
While they have shown an appetite for goals over the last 6 matches, clocking up 10, they have not had it all their own way at the back and have given away 9 goals and some valuable points in the process. When playing away from home, they have scored in 4 of their last 6 games and are on a run of 2 consecutive clean sheets.
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, Oskar Zawada is showing great form in front of goal having scored 6 goals in Wellington Phoenix's last 6 league games
