Western United vs Sydney FC Tips

Two finals rivals clash with Western United now assured of their place in the top six. Sydney FC need a point from their remaining two games and I'm backing them to get it in this fixture.

Western United are unbeaten in 7 of their last 8 home games
Sydney FC are unbeaten in 8 of their last 10 away games

Head To Head

Western United won a thriller when the sides met in December, coming out on top 4-3. They had failed to win any of the previous four head to heads.

Western United Form

Western have lost their last two games, but it hasn't prevented them from wrapping up a place in the A-League finals with two games to spare.

United have lost to Western Sydney Wanderers 2-0 and Brisbane Roar 2-1 in the last two weeks, but remain in fifth place on the ladder.

Prior to that, John Aloisi's side had reeled off five straight wins to move into the top six.

Western United Team News

Abel Walatee could be back in the fold following a spell on the sidelines with concussion.

Sydney FC Form

Sydney came from two goals down at home to win 3-2 against struggling Newcastle Jets last weekend.

They have subsequently dropped out of the top six following Adelaide United's draw with Brisbane Roar in midweek.

With that being Adelaide's final game of the season, Sydney realistically need a single point from two remaining games.

The Sky Blues are now unbeaten in 13 of their last 15 games and eight of their last 10 matches away from home.

Sydney FC Team News

Alex Grant and Aaron Gurd are Sydney's only two injury doubts.

Verdict

Western United FC v Sydney FC

Western United are guaranteed their spot in the finals, while Sydney FC need a point to book their spot. I'm taking the value for this to end in a draw.
