Melbourne City v Western United: A-League Tuesday preview

Two in-form rivals go head-to-head on Tuesday evening as Melbourne City and Western United prepare to do battle at AAMI Park.

City get back to winning ways with a 2-0 victory over Wellington Phoenix last time out and now they are unbeaten in their last five games in the A-League.

Western United are also on a five-game unbeaten run but more impressively are on a four-game winning streak going into this one on Tuesday.

City happy to end stalemate streak

Drawing three games on the spin against Auckland, Melbourne Victory and Central Coast Mariners, head coach Aurelio Vidmar will have been delighted to see his City side get back to winning ways against Wellington last time out.

Making a positive start thanks to a goal from Harry Politidis in the seventh minute, City saw the three points secured when Nathanial Atkinson found the back of the net in the 83rd minute.

Now sat on 18 points from their first 10 games, City can now looking forward to a local derby against a United side also on the same points tally but having played a game more.

United finding a way

Western United made hard work of their win on the road against Perth Glory last time out but managed to claim another valuable three points out west.

Trailing 2-1 going into the 90th minute, Tate Russell and Jordan Lauton scored two quickfire goals to earn a memorable 3-2 win in Perth.

Lauton was later shown a second yellow card and will therefore have to miss Tuesday’s showdown at AAMI Park, which could be a cagey encounter with points and bragging rights on the line.
