Melbourne Victory have won their last four games on the bounce against Macarthur FC in the A-League after losing their first two meetings in 2021.
But the Bulls will be keen to set the record straight when they host Victory tonight at Campbelltown Stadium.
Here’s some more fascinating statistics from Opta Facts about these two sides.
Victory have conceded only three goals in their last four games against the Bulls, who have lost just one of their last six games at Campbelltown Sports Stadium.
Macarthur will be looking for back-to-back wins there for the first time since January 13 this year after picking up a 1-0 win over Western United FC in their last game at the venue.
Both teams are yet to taste defeat after four rounds of the 2023/24 season, with two wins and two draws to their credit.
Melbourne Victory have won two of their last three A-League Men games outside Victoria after winning only once in their eight previous games outside their home state.
No team has scored more goals in the final 15 minutes of games in the 2023/24 A-League men season than Macarthur FC (4); though, the Melbourne Victory are one of four teams yet to concede a goal in this period, adding another fascinating fact about tonight’s clash, which will kick off at 7.45.
Macarthur trio Clayton Lewis, Kearyn Baccus, and Yianni Nicolaou have each made 12 interceptions so this season, the joint most of any players in the competition and twice as many as any Melbourne Victory player.
Bulls defender Jonathan Aspropotamitis has blocked a league-high seven shots alongside Adelaide United’s Nicholas Ansell.
Bruno Fornaroli (Melbourne Victory) has scored six goals in his last four games in the A-League men after not finding the back of the net in any of his five previous games in the competition.
However, Macarthur FC are the only team Fornaroli has faced in the competition against whom he has not scored a goal, and that’s one stat Bulls fans will be happy to see stay unchanged tonight.
