Western Sydney Wanderers will welcome Western United to CommBank Stadium in the A-League on Sunday. United are second in the standings and trail league leaders Auckland by five points. The Wanderers are in fourth place with 36 points.
The hosts extended their unbeaten streak in the league to eight games last week as they were held to a 1-1 away draw at Auckland. Felipe Gallegos broke the deadlock just before the half-time break as he scored his first goal of the season. Nicolas Milanovic continued his fine form and pulled the Wanderers level in the 51st minute.
The visitors made it five wins in a row last week, with a comfortable 3-1 home triumph over last-placed Perth Glory. Rhys Bozinovski gave United an early lead, and Jaylan Pearman equalized for Glory after the break. United's lead was restored by Taras Gomulka's own goal, and Ramy Najjarine added the third goal in the 86th minute.
The Wanderers have lost three of their 13 league games in 2025. Notably, all three losses have been registered at home. They have scored four goals apiece in three of their last five league outings and will look to continue that prolific run here.
United are the most in-form team in the A-League at the moment, recording five consecutive wins and having scored 19 goals in these games. They won their last away meeting against the Wanderers 3-1 last March, scoring thrice for just the third time in 13 games in this fixture.
Both teams have seen an uptick in form just as the race for securing a place in the elimination finals is heating up. They have also enjoyed a good goalscoring form and considering their current form, we expect them to play out a high-scoring draw.
