Melbourne City, Recent FormMelbourne City will be looking to regroup after their bruising encounter with Adelaide United in which they suffered a 6-0 away defeat. They came away from that fixture with 60% of the possession and clocked up 13 attempts on goal with 2 on target. By comparison, Adelaide United managed 15 attempts on goal, with 7 on target.
Whilst manager Rado Vidošić will be pleased with his team's performance in front of goal, having scored 12 goals in their last 6 games, he will want to tighten up his defence if they are to pick up more points, with 13 goals conceded in the same period. Their goal scoring streak at home now stands at 25 games in a row, but they have failed to keep a clean sheet in their last 16 games overall.
It has been a solid run of home form of late, having gone undefeated in 5 of their last 6 matches at home and clocking up 4 wins along the way.
In front of goal, Jamie Maclaren has shown an impressive run of form over the last 6 league matches, managing to find the back of the net no less than 6 times in that run of games.
Sydney FC, Recent FormThe Sydney FC squad will be looking to reset their fortunes after their heavy 3-0 away defeat at the hands of Brisbane Roar. Their share of possession in that meeting was 59%, while racking up 19 shots along the way, 7 of which were on target. Brisbane Roar had 14 shots on goal with 8 on target.
When it comes to attacking power Steve Corica will be justly satisfied with his squad's performances of late, which has seen them chalk up 9 goals in their last 6 matches. However, it hasn't all been going well, and questions remain about their defence with 7 goals lost in those 6 matches resulting in some crucial points dropped. They have scored in 4 of their last 6 away games.
This has been a difficult period for the team in terms of away form, with 3 defeats and just 2 victories in their last 6 matches away from home.
Goalscorer Róbert Mak will be planning to get himself on the scoresheet once more, having notched up 4 goals in his last 6 league matches for Sydney FC.
The last league encounter between these two sides concluded with a 3-2 win for Melbourne City.
Goals should be on the cards for MCFC in this one, given they have found the net, with at least 1 goal, against The Sky Blues in their last 9 meetings together. We have seen plenty of goals from City when they play at home against Sydney FC. In their last 3 league matches they have scored a total of 10 goals, which is an average of 3.33 goals per game.
In the league, MCFC has an strong track record when they play host to Sydney FC, notchng up a win in their last 4 home games.
With 5 goals from the previous 3 league matches against Sydney FC at AAMI Park, MCFC player, Jamie Maclaren, will be looking forward to this clash.
With no real injury worries, MCFC manager Rado Vidošić will be happy to have his full squad available for selection.
Sydney FC manager Steve Corica has no real injury worries ahead of this clash.
