Western Sydney Wanderers will entertain Western United at CommBank Stadium in the 15th matchday of the A-League on Sunday (February 5).
Western Sydney and United are separated by just five points but seven places in the standings. It’s a tight race this term for the A-League Men with two points, the widest gap between 11 of the 12 teams. Melbourne City are the table toppers with 28 points.
Wanderers are third on 21 points – two behind second-placed Central Coast Mariners – despite their rocky campaign. The hosts have won once in their last five games, conceding eight goals. Sydney’s last victory over Western dates to May 2021. They have lost thrice against the visitors since then.
Western, meanwhile, won the A-League Men Championship last season – their first title – following a successful Grand Final over Premiership winners Melbourne City. Much is expected of them in the new campaign, but they seem to be going through a worrisome start, which has attracted criticism.

However, they have scored more goals than Sydney: 18-16. They have also prevailed in the last three fixtures between the two teams.
