Melbourne City

After 16 rounds, Melbourne City occupies the seventh position with 21 points. However, something peculiar has been happening with Aurelio Vidmar's team in recent weeks. In the previous round, City suffered a crushing 1-5 defeat to Brisbane away, despite having previously thrashed the same Brisbane 8-1 back in December. Before the loss to Brisbane, there was a setback against one of the season's underdogs, Perth Glory, with a scoreline of 2-4. In the last 5 A-League matches, Melbourne City has only accumulated 3 points.

Melbourne Victory

The situation at the other Melbourne club is not significantly better. Victory holds the fourth position with 27 points, but in the last 5 matches, they have garnered only 4 points. Melbourne Victory has had a remarkable series of 4 consecutive 1-1 draws and suffered a 0-1 defeat to Macarthur in the previous round. Tony Popovic's team has been looking quite uninspiring in attack, which has significantly impacted their results.

Interesting facts about the match and head-to-head history
