Melbourne Victory form and stats
Melbourne Victory's struggle is real here at AAMI Park with only 9 points collected from 9 A-League games. The win-draw-lost numbers are ugly: 3-0-6.
Previous to that game, a home match hosting Western Sydney Wanderers in a game that was won 5-4.
Melbourne's goalkeeper Matt Acton was extremely busy against Sydney, saving the team from a uglier defeat with a stunning nine saves.
The match schedule is unforgiving for Melbourne as they have a new game in only four days, a A-League match thankfully also at home. Macarthur are visiting.
Melbourne have proved capable of finding the net in their games here at AAMI Park with 14 goals in 9 league matches. Defensively there's plenty of potential for improvement as Melbourne have allowed the opposition to score 25 goals here at AAMI Park.
Central Coast Mariners form and stats
4-1-3 is the win-draw-loss statistic for Central Coast Mariners in their A-League matches away.
Mariners's last game was the home draw against Sydney (2-2). A 0-1 defeat away at Western United before that.
Drawing 2-2 against Sydney after 90 minutes last time out was very disappointing after leading the match 2-0. Their manager A. Stajcic needs to evaluate why the team couldn't defend their result.
The travelling fans enjoy Central Coast Mariners's attacking play in away games, having scored 12 goals in 8 league matches away. 9 goals have been conceded by Mariners in these games. It's worth mentioning that 5 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 away matches.
