Melbourne Victory, Recent FormMelbourne Victory manager Tony Popović will be looking for a better result in this game following a disappointing 0-0 draw in his team's last league outing against Melbourne City. They came away from that fixture with 44% of the possession and clocked up 13 attempts on goal with 4 on target. By comparison, Melbourne City managed 8 attempts on goal, with 2 on target.
It seems pretty certain that Popović will be quite pleased with his squad's ability to score goals in recent matches, having managed 11 goals in their past 6 outings. In contrast, however, he will be concerned that their defensive qualities look a little more fragile, with 7 goals conceded in those matches and some crucial points dropped. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 games, but they have only kept 1 clean sheet in their last 6 games at AAMI Park.
Their strong run of form, both away and at home now gives them an unbeaten streak of 9 games in a row.
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.
Adelaide United, Recent FormAdelaide United will be happy to take away 3 points from their last match, with an important 3-1 home win against Newcastle United Jets. In that game they recorded 55 % of the possession, with 31 attempts on goal, 10 on target. Their opponents found the target on 5 of their 12 shots on goal.
Their boss Carl Veart is sure to be taking a close look at his defence, who have given away 14 goals over the last 6 matches and yet amazingly still managed to collect some valuable points during this poor defensive spell due to their 10 goals scored. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 away games, but they've conceded a goal in their 19 most recent trips.
Despite picking up some valuable points from 2 wins, the 4 lost matches from 6 will be the main concern for them.
Goalscorer Zach Clough will be planning to get himself on the scoresheet once more, having notched up 4 goals in his last 6 league matches for Adelaide United.
In the last match between these two, goals were scored on both sides, with the game ending in a 1-1 draw.
With at least 1 goal in each of their last 6 away matches against Victory in the league, The Reds have built a decent scoring record that they will be keen to extend.
This fixture has produced a draw on the last 3 occasions that these 2 sides have met in the league, but Victory hold a slight psychological advantage of being unbeaten in their last 3 meetings.
Bruno Fornaroli has scored in each of Victory's last 2 league games against Adelaide Utd.
With no real injury worries, Victory manager Tony Popović will be happy to have his full squad available for selection.
Adelaide Utd manager Carl Veart has no real injury worries ahead of this clash.
