Melbourne Victory Form

On January 21, Melbourne Victory suffered a 3:1 away loss to Perth Glory in the A-League. The team is currently on a five-game winless streak with a total of four defeats and one draw for the period.

Two of the team’s last five meetings produced over 2.5 goals, and three witnessed goals at both ends. Melbourne Victory did concede in every game during that time period. At the same time, they failed to score a goal in two matches. From a statistical point of view, their last 5 outings ended with an average of 2.20 goals per game.

Sydney Form

In their previous match, Sydney were up against Western United on Saturday, and it ended in a 1:0 defeat away from home. The team is on a dry run without tasting success in three games, suffering two losses and registering one draw in the process. Playing at your own stadium had no significant role in the latest ten clashes in Sydney, as the teams involved enjoyed 4 home wins and 5 away wins. The team was held to a draw in only one of the previous 10 matches. Looking at Sydney’s previous five encounters, it becomes apparent that two featured over 2.5 goals and one saw goals at both involved sides scoring. Throughout these, Sydney’s efforts paid off as the team managed to prevent goals in their net one time and failed to score on their own in three encounters. During the team’s recent five outings, the goalkeepers had to pull the ball out of the nets 11 times altogether.
