Melbourne Victory

Tony Popovic's team approaches another home match in the Australian championship against the backdrop of a serious downturn in form. In the previous round, "The big V" played a draw 0-0 with Melbourne City in a derby match. The match itself was dominated by Tony Popovic's boys, yet they couldn't find the keys to the opponent's goal. This draw extended Melbourne Victory's winless streak to six matches - 5 draws and 1 defeat. Currently, the "Victory" occupies the fourth position in the Australian A-League table, trailing the leading duo by three points with one game in hand.

Western United

In the previous matchday, Western United defeated Newcastle Jets at home. Brazilian Daniel Penha opened the scoring with a precise shot from the penalty spot, and early in the second half, Noah Botic strengthened the advantage. This victory ended the unsuccessful streak of John Aloisi's team, which had gone seven matches without a win in the A-League. Western United is the underdog of the tournament, having collected only 11 points in 16 matches. The situation is even worse in away matches, as John Aloisi's charges have won only one match out of eight.
