Defending champions Sydney FC will aim to make it three straight wins when they travel to the GMHBA Stadium to take on Western United on Saturday.
The hosts will be aiming to kick-start their season as they find themselves 10th in the A-League table after a disappointing run of one win in five matches.
We say: Western United 1-3 Sydney FC
Western United have failed to get into gear this season, and they face a Sydney side who appear to have found their rhythm.
The defending champions have been faultless away from home and, considering they have a stronger squad, they should grab all three points unscathed.

Newcastle Jets vs. Central Coast (Saturday, 10.10am)
Two sides who have simply struggled to win games in recent weeks lock horns on Saturday as Newcastle Jets welcome Central Coast Mariners to the McDonald Jones Stadium.
The hosts head into this tie without a win in their last 12 games, while the visitors have failed to taste victory in their last six outings.
We say: Newcastle Jets 1-2 Central Coast Mariners
Both sides head into this tie on a poor run of results and will be desperate to claim all three points. However, the visitors have been the better side for most of the season, and considering they boast a stronger squad, we fancy them to steal a narrow win.
