Three massive points will be on the line this weekend when Western Sydney Wanderers play host to Melbourne City at CommBank Stadium in the A-League on Saturday. The Wanderers are in fourth place in the league standings, while the Hearts are second. Let’s get into the match prediction.
The Western Sydney Wanderers are ending the season strongly and enter this match following an impressive 2-0 home win against third-placed Western United last week.
That victory took the Red and Blacks' current unbeaten run in the top flight to nine games (W6 D3 L0), and they scored two or more goals in seven matches during that period.
At home, the hosts are riding a four-match win streak and scored two or more in each of those games. They also beat this opponent 2-0 in the reverse fixture back in November.
Meanwhile, with three games to play and four points between them and league leaders Auckland, Melbourne City will know that they simply cannot afford to drop points from here on.
They come into this match following a 3-2 comeback victory over Brisbane Roar, which was their third win on the bounce and fifth in the last six since the end of February.
The visitors are unbeaten in their last three away games with wins in their last two, a notable improvement after going five games without victory before that.
