Week 14 brings us a match on Jan 26th, where Melbourne Victory will host Sydney at Aami Park in a clash of the A-League. The game day is forecasted to be a cloudy and cool day, with daytime temperatures of only 18 degrees, which is great football weather. In their last match, Melbourne Victory recorded a 1-3 loss against Perth Glory. Ryan Williams scored the first goal for Perth Glory in the 37th minute, but Joshua Brillante got the equalizer for Melbourne Victory in the 69th minute. Melbourne Victory looks to improve on their recent performance, having earned only 8 points in their last 10 matches, while 10th placed Sydney is fresh off their 0-1 loss against Western United. Alessandro Diamanti struck first for Western United in the 86th minute, and that single goal was all that was necessary as neither team could manage any more scoring In the end, Sydney couldn’t muster any offence and Western United ran away with the shutout win. They’re hoping to improve on their recent performance, having earned only 10 points in their last 10 matches.
In their last match together, Melbourne Victory won by a score of 3 to 2. Róbert Mak struck first for Sydney in the 15th minute, then Nicholas D’Agostino tied it up for Melbourne Victory in the 31st minute But fortunately they were able to complete the comaback victory in the 83rd minute on a goal by Joshua Brillante.
Róbert Mak and Adam Le Fondre are the top scorers for Sydney in the last 5 matches, but unfortunately they only have one goal. It’s hard to imagine having success with those stats. Melbourne Victory is having problems scoring lately. Their top scorers, Cadete and Nicholas D’Agostino each only have 1 goal in their last 5.
