Sydney FC will be aiming to move one step closer to securing an automatic playoff semi-final spot when they take on local rivals Western Sydney Wanderers at the Leichhardt Oval on Sunday.
The visitors head into this tie unbeaten in their last six Sydney derbies and will look to continue this run of results against the hosts and move into the playoff places.
We say: Sydney FC 2-1 Western Sydney Wanderers
Given the rivalry between the two Sydney teams, we can expect an entertaining and closely fought contest on Sunday. However, looking at the gulf in quality between both sides and their recent form, we predict the hosts will end their poor run of results against the visitors and claim the win to keep their chances of a top-two finish.

Melbourne Victory will aim to end their four-game losing streak when they welcome Adelaide United to AAMI Park on Sunday.
The visitors, meanwhile, head into this game off the back of a 2-1 loss to Perth Glory and will be looking to quickly return to winning ways.
We say: Melbourne Victory 1-2 Adelaide United
Melbourne Victory will be desperate to end the campaign after their poor performances this season. They have picked up just four wins so far and are second-bottom in the league standings. While the visitors have stumbled in recent weeks, they are on course to secure a top-half finish thanks to their impressive start to the campaign. We predict Adelaide United will claim all three points as they have a stronger and more experienced squad.

Two in-form sides in the Australian top-flight face off on Sunday as Perth Glory welcome Macarthur to HBF Park.
The hosts will be aiming to claim their first ever win over the visitors after picking up just a point from the previous two encounters with the visitors.
We say: Perth Glory 2-2 Macarthur
Perth Glory and Macarthur head into this tie in similar form, having claimed a series of important wins in recent weeks. With both sides evenly matched on paper, we predict the spoils will be shared with either side grabbing two goals apiece.
