In what could prove to be another enjoyable A-League showdown on Sunday morning, Western Sydney will welcome Western United to the CommBank Stadium.
Starting with the hosts, while Western Sydney might have been forced to settle for consecutive stalemates against Auckland and Wellington since returning from March’s international break, the Wanderers are sat firmly in the driving seat to book a play-off return. Heading into the fortnight interval with an eye-catching 4-2 victory against Melbourne Victory, Alen Stajcic’s side are unbeaten in all of their previous eight consecutive A-League appearances. With their recent purple patch highlighted by a 4-1 romp against Perth on March 2nd, Western Sydney have also gained a reputation for their continued success on home soil. In fact, Sunday’s hosts have won all of their last three straight A-League showdowns at the CommBank Stadium by an aggregate score of 10-4. However, despite their clinical performances in the final third, Stajcic’s camp have registered just a pair of clean sheets from their previous 16 matchups across all competitions – a run that stems all the way back to November 30th.
As for the visitors, putting in another rampant performance last weekend as they stormed their way to a 3-1 victory at home against Perth, Western United have certainly underlined their status as one of Australia’s ultimate surprise packages this season. Continuing to receive a string of plaudits, John Aloisi’s men have skyrocketed their way up the table and remarkably open this weekend’s fixtures sat just two points adrift of breaking into the AFC Champions League spots. Heading into March’s international break with an astonishing 6-2 romp away at Newcastle, Sunday’s guests have won each of their previous five consecutive A-League showdowns. In fact, gaining a fearsome reputation for their free-scoring performances in the final third, Aloisi’s side have notched a staggering 19 goals on their five-match winning run. However, much like Sunday’s hosts, it should be noted that the Tarneit-based outfit have recorded just a single A-League clean sheet so far this calendar year.
