Sydney vs Western United: Betting on an Under Win for the Sky Blues

The round 18 main event of the A-League is Sydney FC facing Western United. The sixth team in the division will take on the second team. For Sydney, the upcoming encounter may be the last chance to cling to second place and an entry to the semifinals.

Sydney

Sydney, unlike most Australian teams, plays on two fronts. On March 8, they beat Filipino Kaya 5:0 in the Asian CL. Four days later, Sydney outplayed Perth Glory 2:0 on the road. For Saturday's games, Sydney took a 21-point lead over Western United, trailing by 12 points. It's unlikely that Sydney will defeat their rival in the standings. But if they don't win now, that task will prove to be impossible at all. Surprisingly, Sydney has only the 11th home statistic in the A-League, two wins in eight games on a goal difference of 11-12.

Western United

Western United has not lost since January 21. In March, the visiting team played twice at home: a 2:1 victory over the Newcastle Jets and a 2:2 draw with Melbourne City. Such a comeback allows Western United to occupy second place. Moreover, the club is inferior to Melbourne City only in secondary indicators, plus Western United has two matches in reserve. In other words, the team is potentially the leader of the A-League. On the road, Western United has the fourth-best statistic in the division with three victories and two failures in seven meetings on a 9-8 goal differential.
