Melbourne Victory form and stats
With 3 A-League wins, 1 draw and 6 defeats from their home games, Melbourne Victory, who have the most conceded goals (48) in A-League, are certainly not brimming with confidence.
Heartbreak before that as Melbourne lost 0-1 at Sydney's place.
The Melbourne goalkeeper Matt Acton was crucial in the match against Central Coast Mariners last time out, making six saves.
There will be little rest for Melbourne after this match as they are travelling to Perth Glory for a A-League game in only three days.
Melbourne have proved capable of finding the net in their games here at AAMI Park with 15 goals in 10 league matches. As for conceded goals, Melbourne's unpleasant statistic is 26 goals surrendered.
Macarthur form and stats
As the visiting team in A-League matches, Macarthur, who have the most clean sheets (5) away in A-League, have produced an overall stat of 5-1-4 so far. With three draws in a row for Macarthur the feeling in the team is perhaps one of both relief and disappointment.
It's another away game for the visitors, as they travelled to Perth Glory (placed 10th) in their previous outing. The A-League match ended in a draw 0-0. Ahead of that game was the 1-1 draw at home against Melbourne City.
Adam Federici had red hot gloves after the game against Perth Glory, shaping the outcome of the game with six saves made.
