Western Sydney Wanderers vs Brisbane Roar prediction, preview, team news and more | A-League 2020-21

The A-League is back in action with another set of matches this weekend as Brisbane Roar take on Western Sydney Wanderers at the Bankwest Stadium on Sunday. Both teams have blown hot and cold this season and have a point to prove this weekend.

Brisbane Roar are in fifth place in the A-League standings at the moment and have been impressive this season. The away side stunned league-leaders Melbourne City last week and will be confident ahead of this game.

Western Sydney Wanderers, on the other hand, find themselves in ninth place in the league table and have slumped after a strong start to their campaign. The Wanderers suffered a 2-1 defeat against Wellington Phoenix in their previous game and will look to bounce back in this match.
