Western United has been in excellent form over the past few weeks and has managed to win four of its last five fixtures. The Melbourne-based outfit still has two games to play in the regular A-League season and can potentially finish in the top six this season.
Sydney FC has not had the best of months in the A-League and has struggled to pick up victories in the league. The table-toppers have failed to win in four consecutive matches and will look to get back to winning ways tomorrow.
