Western Sydney Wanderers Form

It's been a brilliant season for the Wanderers are a somewhat slow start, with the team heading into the finals unbeaten in their last 12 games, securing a fourth-placed finish and home final.

The Wanderers have scored a whopping 58 goals this season, led by Nicolas Milanovic with 12, while Brandon Borello is second on the total assist tally with 10.

With so much attacking threat all over the park, it's no surprise the Wanderers have been involved in numerous high-scoring games throughout the course of the season - including a most-recent 3-1 triumph over Macarthur last week, where they also came from a goal down.

The Wanderers aren't expected to make any changes to the side that beat Macarthur last week.

Melbourne Victory Form

It was a turbulent season at stages, but Victory finished solidly enough to lock up fifth spot on the ladder and a crack at the Wanderers in sudden death football.

Patrick Kisnorbo's shock departure midway through the season certainly rattled Victory, but after a shaky start, Arthur Diles has gained control of this team and they remain capable of beating any team in the A-League on their day.

Victory ended the regular season with three wins from their last five games, with their only defeat coming against minor premiers Auckland, while their most-recent clash ended in a 1-1 draw with the Newcastle Jets last week - although both sides had nothing to play for in the last game of the campaign.

Melbourne Victory Team News

Victory have enjoyed the luxury of a full-strength squad over the last month or so. Expect Nishan Velupillay and Zinedine Machach to be the main threats up front, with Daniel Arzani also out to make an impact in the finals.

Verdict

Western Sydney Wanderers v Melbourne Victory

The Wanderers have a good record vs Victory at CommBank and have scored 2+ goals against them in the last five meetings. Nicolas Milanovic can help propel the Wanderers to another win over Victory with by opening the scoring for his 13th goal of the campaign.
