Melbourne City

Under the guidance of Aurelio Vidmar, the team is striving with all its might to break into the top six of the Australian A-League. Not long ago, "City" occupied the fourth position, but a loss of points in several matches has led the club to slide down to seventh place. Currently, the Melbourne-based club has 26 points from 20 matches played. Their gap from Sydney Wanderers, who are in sixth place, is just two points. Last weekend, Aurelio Vidmar's men triumphed at home against none other than the league leaders, Wellington Phoenix, with a scoreline of 1-0. This victory marked the first win in six matches for the "sky blue" and propelled them to the top spot, overtaking Central Coast Mariners.

Western Sydney Wanderers

Under the leadership of Mark Rudan, the team currently occupies the sixth position in the Australian A-League table. After 20 rounds, the "Wanderers" have accumulated 28 points, with eight wins and an equal number of losses. They are now 12 points adrift from the second spot, and their main concern should be to avoid dropping out of the top six altogether. Last weekend, the "Wanderers" hosted a home match against the underdogs, Western United, and suffered a sensational 1-3 defeat. Despite scoring first early in the second half, the hosts conceded three goals after the 69th minute. This defeat marked the third loss in the last four rounds of the A-League for the "Wanderers".
