📋 Team News: Sydney FC
Nearly everyone is up for selection, with just one fitness concern for the Sydney FC manager Steve Corica to contend with thanks to an otherwise robust set of players. Adam Le Fondre (Hamstring Injury) will miss out. Max Burgess will not be able to play in this game through being suspended.
We think that The Sky Blues look set to go for a 4-3-3 formation in the match, beginning the first half with Andrew Redmayne, Rhyan Grant, James Donachie, Alex Wilkinson, Joel King, Paulo Retre, Luke Brattan, Anthony Caceres, Joe Lolley, Robert Mak and Diego Caballo.
🗞️ Team News: Western Sydney Wanderers
Western Sydney Wanderers boss Mark Rudan has some current player fitness concerns. Rhys Williams (Hamstring Injury) and Tate Russell (Cruciate Ligament Rupture) won’t be making appearances. Tomislav Mrcela will not be able to play in this game through being suspended.
We’re of the thinking that The Wanderers could decide to make use of a 4-3-1-2 lineup, starting Lawrence Thomas, Aidan Simmons, Tom Beadling, Marcelo, Adama Traore, Calem Nieuwenhof, Milos Ninkovic, Romain Amalfitano, Amor Layouni, Brandon Borrello and Kusini Yengi.
🧠 Prediction
We feel that in this game, Western Sydney Wanderers are likely to breach the defence of this Sydney FC lineup, however that possibly won’t be enough to prevent defeat.
We’re tipping a tight encounter finishing with a 2-1 advantage for Sydney FC at the end of this one. Should be a good one.
