Sydney FC, Recent FormSydney FC will be happy to have grabbed 3 points in their last match, where they clocked up a 2-1 win in their home outing against Adelaide United. They achieved 46% possession in that match and had 16 strikes at goal, with 6 hitting the target, up against Adelaide United's tally of 10 efforts at goal, 3 of which were on target.
While they have been strong in attack with 15 goals scored in their last 6 games, their defence has let them down slightly, by conceeding 9 at the other end which has led to points being dropped. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 home games, but so far this season they have conceded at least 1 goal in 16 of their 17 games overall.

Melbourne City, Recent FormMelbourne City will not be too disappointed to take a point from their 0-0 result against Melbourne Victory last time out. Their share of possession in that meeting was 46%, while racking up 6 shots along the way, 3 of which were on target. Melbourne Victory had 17 shots on goal with 6 on target.
Their boss Aurelio Vidmar is sure to be taking a close look at his defence, who have given away 12 goals over the last 6 matches and yet amazingly still managed to collect some valuable points during this poor defensive spell due to their 5 goals scored. They've failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 away games.
