Melbourne City Preview – Can Melb City hold onto 2nd spot?
With just three points separating Saturday evening’s hosts, Melbourne City, and 3rd placed Wellington Phoenix, Melbourne City know they can’t afford to slip up here against 8th placed Western Sydney Wanderers at AAMI Park.
The hosts will be in confident mood though that they can grab all three points here as they’ve won 3 of their last 4 matches overall in the A-League with victories chalked up over crosstown rivals, Melbourne Victory along with recent back-to-back wins against Brisbane Roar and Perth Glory, which have kept City in the hunt for a top two finish at the end of the regular season.
Having also won 4 of their last 5 matches at AAMI Park, Melbourne City will be keen to make the most of home advantage here (with fans) as this is the last weekend that’s expected to allow spectators to attend league matches in the A-League due to the Coronavirus concerns.
Western Sydney Preview – Can Wanderers bounce back?
A heavy 3-1 defeat away form home at Brisbane Roar in last weekend’s A-League action ended Western Sydney Wanderers’ promising 4-match unbeaten run in the Australian top flight and they now face a tough trip to Melbourne to face hosts City who are desperate to hang onto 2nd place.
Recent wins against Central Coast Mariners, Adelaide United and most impressive of all, a 1-0 win against fierce local rivals, Sydney FC, had helped turn around Western Sydney’s fortunes but defeat last time out means they’re now 3 points adrift of 6th placed Western United ahead of this weekend’s action.
Form and results away from home continue to produce inconsistent returns though for Wanderers who have lost 6 of their last 9 matches on their travels in the A-League, while an away record of 4-0-6 12/17 also suggests that the visitors could struggle in Melbourne this Saturday.
