Western United and Adelaide United bring round 20 of the Australian A-League to an end when they square off at the Ironbark Fields on Sunday. The Reds head into the weekend unbeaten in their last four games against John Aloisi’s men and will be looking to extend this dominant run.
Western United suffered a slight blow in their push for a top-two finish as they fell to a 2-0 defeat against Auckland FC at the Ironbark Fields last Saturday. Before that, Aloisi’s side were on a four-game unbeaten run, picking up two wins and two draws while scoring 11 goals and conceding eight in that time.
Western United have picked up 26 points from their 17 A-League games so far to sit fifth in the standings, one point above sixth-placed Sydney FC in the final playoff spot.
