Melbourne City, who failed to go undefeated in the AFC Champions League group stage, had an unexpected loss to Perth Glory in the league, but fortunately ended up defeating Wellington Phoenix in the final round to win the regular season title for the second consecutive season, and their morale was boosted.
Scorer Jimmy McCarron is a highly decorated player, scoring 15 goals to lead the scorer's list, and with teammates such as Mafeliki and Nabholt, "Melbourne City" has scored 55 goals in 26 league matches this season, which is full of firepower. Melbourne City is now aiming to win the playoffs, and with a top-two finish in the regular season, it will have the advantage of being well rested.
Midfielder Kijiji Gwon is in great form.
Meanwhile, Adelaide United finished the regular season in fourth place thanks to a five-game winning streak at the end of the season, advancing to the playoffs.
