Melbourne Victory, Recent FormMelbourne Victory had to settle for a share of the spoils in their last match, which ran out a 0-0 draw against Melbourne City. They achieved 54% possession in that match and had 17 strikes at goal, with 6 hitting the target, up against Melbourne City's tally of 6 efforts at goal, 3 of which were on target.
They may consider themselves adept at breaking through their opponent's defences, having scored 4 goals in their last 6 outings, but they have had their own defensive frailties to worry about, having conceded 5 and seen valuable points lost. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 home games, but they have failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games overall.
Results wise, their recent poor run of form has left them without a win in 6 games.
In front of goal, Bruno Fornaroli has shown an impressive run of form over the last 6 league matches, managing to find the back of the net no less than 7 times in that run of games.
Western United, Recent FormWestern United will certainly have been pleased to secure 3 points from their most recent encounter, which saw them run out 2-0 winners in their home fixture against Newcastle United Jets. In that game they had 45% possession and managed 17 attempts on goal, with 6 on target, compared to Newcastle United Jets who had 20 attempts and 7 on target.
When it comes to attacking power John Aloisi will be justly satisfied with his squad's performances of late, which has seen them chalk up 8 goals in their last 6 matches. However, it hasn't all been going well, and questions remain about their defence with 10 goals lost in those 6 matches resulting in some crucial points dropped. They have failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games, and this season they've failed to score in 8 of their 16 games.
Their recent poor run of form away from home has left them without an away win in 7 games.
Having scored 3 goals in his last 6 league games for Western United, Daniel Penha will be looking to keep his tally up with a goal in their next outing.
The last league encounter between these two sides concluded with a 1-2 win for Western United.
Victory have scored in each of their last 6 games at home in the league against The West.
In the last 2 league meetings between the teams, Western Utd has taken all 3 points and has not lost to Victory in 3 games.
With no real injury worries, Victory manager Tony Popović will be happy to have his full squad available for selection.
Western Utd manager John Aloisi has no real injury worries ahead of this clash.
