Western United vs Sydney FC Prediction
Western United's poor campaign continued with their loss last weekend, stretching their winless run to five games (four losses). Their poor form does not look likely to end anytime soon and Sydney FC will fancy their chances of leaving with all three points.
Ufuk Talay's side are just outside the playoff spots and a win here could take them into the top six depending on how results go elsewhere. Hence they are likely to go all out from the get-go in search of victory.
We are backing the visitors to leave with all three points with a narrow victory and goals at both ends.
