The Match

Preview

Sports Mole previews Friday's Australian A-League clash between Western United and Sydney FC, including predictions, team news and possible lineups.

We said: Western United 1-2 Sydney FC

 Sydney would have been majorly boosted by their 3-0 win last time out while a 3-1 defeat for Western could have dented their confidence, giving the visitors a good opportunity to capitalise on that this Friday. Sydney showed their attacking prowess in that game, while Western showed their defensive weaknesses against Melbourne Victory, suggesting Corica can guide his side to victory. Read more.
