WESTERN UNITED VS WESTERN SYDNEY WANDERERS PREDICTION
These are likely to be two of the weaker sides in the A League this season but that doesn’t mean this game won’t be entertaining for the neutral. Western United began with a fun 1-1 draw against Wellington Phoenix last weekend, whilst the Western Sydney Wanderers started with another entertaining clash as they suffered a 2-1 defeat to Sydney after their 27 matches in the regular season last year consisted of 92 goals. Both teams scoring would appear a good bet for this one.
