Command Analysis
Sydney FC
AustraliaCurrent form
Sydney performed quite successfully last season and took fourth place in the regular season. In the first round of the playoffs, the team easily beat Macarthur (4:0), but already at the semi-final stage lost to the future trophy holder, Central Coast Mariners (1:2 and 0:0). The current season, the club from Sydney started quite well, but due to the defeat in the last match against Central Coast Mariners (1:2), dropped to sixth place and now risks flying out of the playoff zone.
Disqualifications and injuries
Harrison Devenish-Mears is suspended, while Joseph Lacey is in doubt.
Interesting trends for betting
- The hosts have not played a draw yet this season.
- The team has won three of its last four matches.
Probable line-up: Redmayne - Grant, Matthews, Popovic, Courtney-Peppen - Caceres, Leo Sena - Lolley, Hollman, Douglas Costa - Klimala.
Western United FC
AustraliaCurrent form
Western United are tenth in the league table and have not impressed so far this season. So far in this A-League draw, the visitors have only beaten Perth Glory (3:1). At the same time, the team suffered losses to Melbourne City (0:1), Adelaide United (1:2) and Melbourne Victory (1:3). In the last round, John Aloisi men drew with Macarthur (0:0). With such results, it will be difficult to fight for the playoffs, so something clearly needs to change.

Kaddour, Pasquali, Garuccio and Donaghy will miss the Sydney FC match.
Interesting trends for betting
- The team has won only one game in seven rounds.
- The club has suffered three defeats in its last five away matches

3.35Tip and bets
The hosts are clear favourites in this match. The visitors were one of the main outsiders of the championship last season, and the situation is similar in the current championship. The club has only won one victory this season and is unlikely to be able to counter such a strong opponent as Sydney. Most likely, we will see a confident victory for the home team.
Our prediction is Asian handicap (-1) on Sydney for 1.72
Bet on total
The hosts have scored at least three goals in their last three victories, and the club will probably show a productive performance today. The visitors rarely act as effectively, but Sydney is not known for its flawless defense, so Western United will have an opportunity to score a goal of prestige.
Our prediction is total over 3.5 goals for 2.05
Bet on corners
In this match, we expect Sydney to have superiority not only in terms of the score, but also in various other parameters, including the number of corners taken.
Our prediction is Asian handicap (-2.5) on corners for Sydney at 1.90
