Team analysis: Wanderers
The home side currently occupies 5th place, boasting 36 points from 12 wins, 5 draws, and 6 defeats. In their penultimate match, they drew 1-1 against Auckland, while in their most recent match, they secured a 2-0 victory at home against Western United. Curiously, this team has performed better away than at home, recording 8 wins, 6 draws, and only 1 loss in their last 30 away matches, compared to 8 wins, 1 draw, and 6 losses at home. Over the last 10 home matches in the league, Wanderers achieved 6 victories, 1 draw, and 3 losses, earning 19 points from a possible 30.
In this competition, they’ve won their last 4 matches at home. However, they’ve allowed goals in 7 of their last 10 games, indicating a lack of defensive solidity. On the attacking front, they have scored in 9 out of the last 10 matches, demonstrating their offensive capabilities. Notably, in their home outings for the competition, 10 out of 12 matches resulted in more than 2.5 goals. From the 23 games played in this competition, the Western Wanderers turned the score around in 5 of the 14 matches where they conceded the first goal.
After defeating Western United, the Wanderers have narrowed the gap to just 2 points behind their rivals, maintaining a position in 4th. They are currently tied on points with Melbourne Victory, allowing no room for error if they aim to retain their standings. The Wanderers are in excellent form, having won 6 out of their last 8 matches while also registering 3 draws. In this 27th round, they face Melbourne City, who sit in 2nd position but still aspire to reach the top. This match will indeed be a significant test for the Wanderers, who are eager to climb to 3rd place.
Team analysis: Melbourne City
The visitors currently hold 2nd place with 43 points, having achieved 13 wins, 4 draws, and 6 losses. In their latest match, they overcame Brisbane with a 3-2 victory at home, following a win against Central Coast Mariners by 1-0 in their previous outing. This team maintains a solid performance when playing away, showing 7 wins, 5 draws, and 3 losses in the last 30 away games, as opposed to 10 wins, 2 draws, and 3 losses at home. In the league, Melbourne City has secured 15 points from a potential 30 over their last 10 away matches, marked by 4 wins, 3 draws, and 3 losses. Their attack has been reliable, hitting the net in 7 out of their last 10 competition fixtures.
When away from home, there has been a trend for fewer goals, with 5 of their last 12 games ending with less than 1.5 goals. Across 23 matches in this competition, they conceded the first goal on 7 occasions, managing to turn the score around just once. One notable period in their last 12 away matches has been their tendency to concede 5 of their 12 goals between the 31st and 45th minutes.
Melbourne City has been impressively consistent and fiercely competitive. Their position in 2nd place is well-deserved, as they currently sit just 4 points behind leaders Auckland. Like their opponents, Melbourne City has also enjoyed a good run, with 8 consecutive unbeaten matches resulting in 6 victories, 1 draw, and only 1 loss, which was rather surprising against Newcastle Jets, a match they were anticipated to win. Melbourne City understands that anything short of a victory could jeopardise their ambitions of securing the top spot.
