Command Analysis

Sydney FC

Current form
Sydney FC continues to struggle to qualify for the playoffs. There is an extremely high density in this part of the standings, so the teams are constantly changing positions. So far, the hosts are in fifth place, but a week ago they were in seventh place. Thanks to a 4-1 home victory over Adelaide United, Ufuk Talai's team returned to the top six on the first day of February. Nevertheless, the seventh Melbourne City is lagging behind only in additional indicators. It is worth noting that Sydney FC remains the most productive team in the league, scoring 36 goals in 16 matches.
Disqualifications and injuries
Aron Gurd's entry into the field is questionable.
Interesting betting trends
- The team has lost two of the last three matches.
- On their own field, the hosts suffered only one defeat in five matches.
Approximate composition: Devenish-Mears - Jesus, Grant, Matthews, King - Hollman, Leo Cena - Caceres, Lolli, Segechic - Klimala

Western Sydney Wanderers FC

Current form
Western Sydney Wanderers can still compete for a place in the playoffs, but the visitors have quite a lot of competitors. The team occupies the eighth position and is only ahead of the current champion, Central Coast Mariners, in terms of additional indicators. The gap from the top six is still three points. The team has played its last matches with varying success. On the road, they managed to beat the two main outsiders of the A-League, Perth Glory (2:1) and Brisbane Roar (1:0), but failed to score points on their own field in the confrontations with Central Coast Mariners (1:3) and Auckland (0:1). So far, Alain Stajcic's team is performing much more successfully on the road than at their stadium.
Disqualifications and injuries
Jeong Tae-wook and Dylan Scicluna will miss the upcoming match due to injuries.
Interesting betting trends
- In the last five away meetings, the team did not suffer a single defeat, but won four victories.
- The guests lost the last four face-to-face matches
Approximate composition: Thomas - Clisby, Jeong, Bontig, Pantazopoulos - Milanovic, Priestmann, Mata, Kraev - Sapsford, Borello
