Sunday in the A-League brings us a crucial top-half clash, with Western United playing host to Sydney FC at Ironbark Fields. Western are in third place in the league standings, while the Sky Blues are sixth with two games to play. Let’s get into the match prediction.
Western United suffered a second consecutive defeat in their last top-flight match, going down 2-1 to second-bottom Brisbane Roar on the road last weekend.
Those defeats have proven costly for United, as it forced them to relinquish second place in the league standings, leapfrogged by Melbourne City, who are now three points ahead of them with six left to play for.
However, both defeats came in away games, while at home, the hosts are riding a three-match win streak and scored three or more goals in each of those victories.
Meanwhile, Sydney FC bounced back impressively from their AFC Champions League Two exit last weekend, coming from two goals down to beat the Newcastle Jets at home.
That result marked the Sky Blues’ third league game without defeat (W2 D1 L0), and it was the seventh time in the last 10 games that they scored two or more goals.
On the road, the visitors are unbeaten in three games, with the last two ending in victory. They have also maintained clean sheets in three of their last five top-flight outings since mid-January.

Our Western United vs Sydney Prediction
With just two more games to play before the end of the season, both these sides are likely to throw caution to the wind, as three points could be invaluable come next weekend, with the top half still tightly compact.
Sydney have been in good goal-scoring form lately, netting two or more in each of their last four games, and while Western lost their last two matches, they are a different kettle of fish when playing at home. Thus, we’re expecting a few goals in this one. Our Western United vs Sydney FC prediction is over 2.5 and BTTS.
