One of the fixtures in the 20th round of the Australian A-League will take place on Friday at the CommBank Stadium, where the local Western Sydney Wanderers will host Western United. We offer a prediction for this match from Dailysports experts.
Western Sydney Wanderers
Under the guidance of Mark Rudan, the team currently holds the sixth position in the league table of the Australian Championship. After 19 rounds, the Wanderers have accumulated 28 points, securing eight victories alongside seven defeats. The gap between them and the second place is already nine points, though they have a game in hand. Last weekend, under Rudan's guidance, the Wanderers hosted Sydney FC and suffered a 1-4 defeat. Essentially, the fate of the match was sealed by the 60th minute when the scoreline reached 4-0 in favor of the visitors. The Wanderers could only manage a consolation goal. This defeat marked the Wanderers' third in the last five A-League matches.
Western United
Western United is enduring a notably weak season and rightfully occupies the last position in the A-League table. Under John Aloisi's management, the team has garnered only 15 points in 19 matches. However, it's worth acknowledging that the bulk of these points were accumulated in recent rounds. For instance, last weekend, Western United secured a 1-0 victory at home against Perth Glory, with Noah Botic scoring the sole goal in the 53rd minute. This victory marked Western United's second win in the last four rounds, with just one defeat during this period.
