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 Brisbane Roar. In that game they had 40% possession and managed 8 attempts on goal, with 2 on target, compared to Brisbane Roar who had 22 attempts and 4 on target.
Popović will be quite satisfied with his squad's offensive prowess in recent performances. They have managed to notch up 8 goals from their last 6 outings. However, the manager will know they have work to do at the back where they have let in 6 goals and, as a result, lost some important points. They have been unable to score at home in 3 of their last 6 games, and they have also failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games overall.
They've shown some decent form of late, being unbeaten in 5 of their last 6 matches, with 3 of the 5 being victories for good measure.
Bruno Fornaroli will be aiming to add his name to the scoresheet again to extend his goal tally of 5 goals in the last 6 league outings for Melbourne Victory.
Western Sydney Wanderers, Recent FormThe Western Sydney Wanderers players will be feeling somewhat disenchanted with their inability to pick up any points from their home fixture against Melbourne City recently, that ended in a 2-1 defeat. They came away from that fixture with a 55% share of the possession and clocked up 20 attempts on goal with 8 on target, in comparison to Melbourne City, who managed 11 attempts on goal, 2 of which were on target.
Their boss Marko Rudan is sure to be taking a close look at his defence, who have given away 15 goals over the last 6 matches and yet amazingly still managed to collect some valuable points during this poor defensive spell due to their 8 goals scored. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 games, but they have failed to record a clean sheet in their last 12 games.
Losing 4 of their last 6 outings will not be looked on kindly by their manager; however, they did salvage some valuable points by winning the other 2 games.
On an individual basis, Nicolas Milanovic will be looking to cause Melbourne Victory some problems having scored 3 goals in Western Sydney Wanderers' last 6 away games in the league.
Western Sydney Wanderers suffered the disappointment of a 3-4 defeat at the hands of Melbourne Victory the last time they met in the league.
The Wanderers will feel sure their attacking prowess will yield results in this one, having scored at least 1 goal in the previous 9 encounters with Victory. We've seen plenty of goals from The Wanderers when they've visited Victory in the league, in their last 3 games they've scored a total of 6 goals, which is an average of 2 per game.
With no real injury worries, Victory manager Tony Popović will be happy to have his full squad available for selection.
The Wanderers manager Marko Rudan has no real injury worries ahead of this clash.
