We said: Western United 1-1 Western Sydney Wanderers

 Sydney seem to be on the right track, but the season is still relatively early, plus, they have not shown much quality in the attacking third to date. We expect the club from Melbourne, who have been better in recent outings, to dictate the play and have their share of possession, but still leaving plenty of gaps which the visitors could expose.
