Adelaide United, Recent FormAdelaide United will not be too disheartened with their 3-2 away defeat at the hands of Wellington Phoenix who sit 9 places above them in the table. During that encounter they had 50% possession and had 23 attempts on goal with 6 on target, while their opponents hit 5 of their 15 shots on goal.
They have bagged 7 goals in their last 6 matches but haven't taken the points they might have hoped for, primarily due to some indecisive defending that has seen their goal breached 15 times in that period. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 home games, but they have failed to keep a clean sheet in their last 17 games overall.
Results wise, their recent poor run of form has left them without a win in 6 games.
When it comes to home matches at Coopers Stadium, Hiroshi Ibusuki will be feeling confident about finding the net again, with 7 league goals for Adelaide United in their last 6 home games.
Melbourne Victory, Recent FormThe Melbourne Victory squad will be suffering from a feeling of disappointment after falling to a 3-2 away defeat against Brisbane Roar, which saw them drop all three points and come away from the game empty-handed. In that game they had 46% possession and managed 11 attempts on goal, with 5 on target, compared to Brisbane Roar who had 15 attempts and 8 on target.
They may consider themselves adept at breaking through their opponent's defences, having scored 5 goals in their last 6 outings, but they have had their own defensive frailties to worry about, having conceded 7 and seen valuable points lost. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 away games, but they have failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games overall.
Whilst they have only lost 1 of their last 6 away games there will be concern over the amount of points dropped with 4 draws from those games. Their away form in the early part of the season has produced an unusually high number of draws, with 7 draws in 11 away league games.
Away from home in the league, Bruno Fornaroli has given the Melbourne Victory travelling fans plenty to get excited about, with 6 goals from their last 6 games on the road.
