Melbourne City, Recent FormMelbourne City will be happy to have grabbed 3 points in their last match, where they clocked up a 1-0 win in their home outing against Wellington Phoenix. In that game they had 51% possession and managed 27 attempts on goal, with 8 on target, compared to Wellington Phoenix who had 11 attempts and 2 on target.
Manager Aurelio Vidmar will be shining a spotlight on his team's poor defensive record of late, having conceded 12 goals in their last 6 games, despite picking up a modest amount of points due in no small part to the 5 goals they managed at the other end. They have been unable to score at home in 3 of their last 6 games; however, over the season so far, they've notched up 5 clean sheets in 10 games at AAMI Park.
They have put together a nice run of home form recently, managing to go undefeated in 5 matches out of their last 6 at AAMI Park and recording 3 wins in that same period.
Goalscorer Marco Tilio will be planning to get himself on the scoresheet once more, having notched up 3 goals in his last 6 league matches for Melbourne City.
Western Sydney Wanderers, Recent FormAny Western Sydney Wanderers pre-match expectations for their last outing were misplaced, after an unexpected 3-1 home defeat by Western United. They came away from that fixture with a 54% share of the possession and clocked up 9 attempts on goal with 2 on target, in comparison to Western United, who managed 13 attempts on goal, 7 of which were on target.
Having lost 16 goals in their past 6 matches, boss Marko Rudan will surely be casting a critical eye over his defensive line, even though his team managed to pick up some points along the way due to the 10 goals they scored. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 games.
They have been on a bad run over their last 6 league matches, with 4 defeats and only 1 victory, so they know full well that a change of form is needed if they want to begin moving up the league table.
On an individual basis, Nicolas Milanovic will be looking to get on the scoresheet again having scored 4 goals in Western Sydney Wanderers' last 6 league games.
Last time these two teams met in the league it ended in disappointment for Melbourne City, losing 0-1 to Western Sydney Wanderers.
In each of their last 6 games away from home in the league to MCFC, The Wanderers have scored at least 1 goal and will be looking to extend that run. City have struggled to keep The Wanderers at bay when these two teams have met at AAMI Park, during the last 3 times they have hosted The Wanderers in the league, they have conceded a total of 6 goals.
Marco Tilio will be feeling confident about scoring for MCFC ahead of this encounter with The Wanderers, having netted 3 goals in the past 3 league meetings between these two at AAMI Park.
With no real injury worries, MCFC manager Aurelio Vidmar 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.
