Western Sydney Wanderers vs Western United Prediction

The Wanderers were the second-best team at home last season, winning eight times and only losing thrice during the regular season.

Two of their three wins over Western United have come at home. They have a full-strength squad available for selection, and no changes are expected in their starting XI.

Western United, meanwhi,e, have won three of their last four meetings against Western Sydney, keeping two clean sheets. They have a few injury concerns, as Nikita Rukavytsya is days away from match fitness. Rhys Bozinovski and James Donachie could make their season debut.

There's nothing much to separate the two teams, and considering their form in recent games, a low-scoring draw could ensue.

Prediction: Western Sydney 1-1 Western United
