Sydney FC vs Western United Prediction

Both sides are in the hunt for playoff qualification, but the hosts hold the final spot in the top six. However, a win for Western will see them usurp Sydney in the standings.

Sydney have struggled in front of their fans and have the worst home record in the league this season. That could give Western the confidence to believe they can get a positive result from the game.

Although either side could nick a win, the spoils could be shared in a low-scoring draw.

Prediction: Sydney 1-1 Western
