Match preview: Western United vs Sydney

Western United and Sydney meet at Whitten Oval for the 28th round of the A-League. In their last outing in this competition on 14th December 2024, Western United triumphed (3-4). Historically, the visiting side has had the upper hand in recent meetings at this venue, winning 2 out of the last 3 fixtures. However, their most recent encounter here was on 21st January 2023, where Western United emerged victorious (1-0), with Alessandro Diamanti netting the sole goal in the 86th minute. The home advantage could be significant, as Western United’s home form has shown notable disparities compared to their away results.

Team analysis: Western United

After 12 wins, 5 draws, and 7 losses, the home side is currently in 3rd place, having amassed 41 points. In their last outing, they suffered a defeat to Brisbane Roar (2-1), following another loss away to Western Sydney Wanderers (2-0) previously. Interestingly, Western United has recorded better results away, with 7 wins, 3 draws, and 5 losses in their last 30 matches on the road, scoring 34 goals and conceding 28. At home, they’ve achieved 6 wins, 4 draws, and 5 losses, netting 26 times and conceding 20. Within the championship framework, they’ve garnered 17 points from a possible 30, with their recent home form yielding 5 wins, 2 draws, and 3 losses over the last 10 matches. Their defensive capabilities haven’t been particularly robust, having allowed goals in 9 of their last 10 fixtures. Nonetheless, their attack remains consistent, scoring in 8 of those 10 matches. From 24 games in this competition, they have only managed to turn the score around in 3 of the 11 instances where they conceded first.

Western United has unexpectedly dipped in form over the last two rounds, allowing Melbourne Victory to overtake them into 4th place. Still, they are not only targeting a return to 3rd but also harbour hopes of claiming the 2nd spot, being just 3 points away. As they host Sydney, a team also fighting to maintain the 6th position, Western United is under pressure not to slip up. They must secure victory, or they may very well wave goodbye to the chance for 2nd place unless Melbourne City falters in their upcoming match.

Team analysis: Sydney

The visiting side is currently positioned 7th, with a total of 34 points from 10 wins, 6 draws, and 8 losses. In their penultimate match, they drew at home against Auckland (2-2), while their last match saw them win at home against Newcastle Jets (3-2). Sydney has maintained a consistent performance when playing away, recording 5 wins, 5 draws, and 5 losses in their last 30 matches as the visiting team; compared to 8 wins, 4 draws, and 3 losses on home turf. Within the league, Sydney has accumulated 13 points from a potential 30, with 3 wins, 4 draws, and 3 losses in their last 10 away games. Frequently, matches in the league conclude with a 0-0 score after the first half, occurring in 6 of their 13 outings. Defensive solidity has proven to be an issue, as they have conceded in 8 of their last 10 matches, yet their attack has remained proficient, managing to score in 8 of those games. Of the 24 matches played, Sydney conceded the first goal 10 times and only succeeded in overturning the lead once. Notably, in their last 11 matches played away, they scored 6 of their 16 goals during the closing minutes (76′ to 90′).

Sydney faces a critical juncture, as they have no room for further mistakes. With 37 points and level on points with the team in 7th place, their last two matches are effectively finals. However, with a match in hand compared to the 7th place side, securing all 3 points in these final two matches is essential. The challenge lies in facing two highly competitive teams; starting with Western United, currently in 4th place, and their final fixture against Melbourne City occupying the 2nd position. There remains a chance for Sydney to finish 6th without accumulating points in these last two matches, but this would require a loss for Adelaide United in their concluding match.
