Western United, Recent FormGrabbing a valuable league point from their recent 3-3 draw against Macarthur FC will have been seen as a reasonably decent result for Western United. They achieved 57% possession in that match and had 26 strikes at goal, with 8 hitting the target, up against Macarthur FC's tally of 11 efforts at goal, 4 of which were on target.
Supremo John Aloisi will be closely scrutinising his squad's defensive frailties, his back line having shipped 16 goals in their last 6 matches, despite having picked up some points through the 8 goals they've managed to net. They have failed to keep a clean sheet in their last 14 games, and so far this season they have failed to score in 6 of their 12 games.
They've had a dismal run of form at Mars Stadium recently, losing all but 1 of their last 6 home games, their solitary win providing little consolation. They've had a poor start to their season losing 9 of 12 league games.
Daniel Penha will be keen to add his name to the scoresheet and build on his current scoring record of 3 goals in the last 6 league games for Western United.
Western Sydney Wanderers, Recent FormAny Western Sydney Wanderers pre-match expectations for their last outing were misplaced, after an unexpected 2-1 home defeat by Perth Glory. Their share of possession in that meeting was 69%, while racking up 17 shots along the way, 7 of which were on target. Perth Glory had 16 shots on goal with 10 on target.
Manager Marko Rudan will be reasonably pleased with his team's attacking displays in recent matches, having managed to score 6 goals in their last 6 games, but he will have work to do defensively after they conceded 6 goals in those games and dropped some valuable points along the way. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 away games, and overall this season they have recorded 6 clean sheets in 13 games.
In terms of results, it's been a bit of a mixed bag for The Wanderers recently, having won 3 and lost 3 of their last 6 games.
Brandon Borrello is the man of the moment at Western Sydney Wanderers right now and the toast of their travelling support, having notched up 3 goals from the last 6 away outings in the league.
The last time these two teams met Western Sydney Wanderers enforced their superiority over Western United with a comfortable 5-0 win.
During the last 2 times these two teams have met in the league, Western Utd have been unable to break through The Wanderers' defence and find the back of the net. Playing away from home, The Wanderers have scored in 2 of their last 3 league games against Western Utd.
