Melbourne Victory, Recent FormA 1-1 draw and a point gained against Wellington Phoenix in their previous meeting will have been considered a fairly decent result for Melbourne Victory last time out. In that game they had 63% possession and managed 19 attempts on goal, with 6 on target, compared to Wellington Phoenix who had 10 attempts and 3 on target.
Manager Tony Popović will be reasonably pleased with his team's performances in front of goal, having scored 10 goals in their last 6 games, but will want to tighten up his defence with 4 goals conceded in the same period. They have only kept 2 clean sheets in their last 6 home games; however, overall they've scored in 12 of their 13 games this season.
Their impressive run of form, both away and at home now gives them an unbeaten streak of 13 games in a row.
