Wanderers are third on 21 points – two behind second-placed Central Coast Mariners – despite their rocky campaign. The hosts have won once in their last five games, conceding eight goals. Sydney’s last victory over Western dates to May 2021. They have lost thrice against the visitors since then.

Western, meanwhile, won the A-League Men Championship last season – their first title – following a successful Grand Final over Premiership winners Melbourne City. Much is expected of them in the new campaign, but they seem to be going through a worrisome start, which has attracted criticism.
