The hosts are coming into the clash on the back of a thrilling 3-3 draw away to Macarthur FC a fortnight ago.

Daniel Penha scored a second-half brace for the visitors, while Davila completed his hat-trick with two goals after the break to share the spoils.

This will be a clash between two sides with contrasting styles, with Western Sydney Wanderers being more conservative. Rudan Mark's side have conceded and scored just six goals in five away league games, the best and worst away records respectively.
