Preview:
The defending champs are 13-1-1 – with their only loss coming back in Week 3 – and hold a 13-point lead at the top of the A-League ladder. The Sky Blues accounted for the Victory (3-0) and Roar (1-0) in the past fortnight. Adam le Fondre has extended his lead in the goalscoring race with goals in his last four games to bring his total to 15.
Western Sydney Wanderers sit eighth but gave their finals prospects a boost with a 3-1 win over the Mariners in Gosford last weekend. It was just their second win in 12 games.
Wanderers’ fast start to the 2019-20 season included a 1-0 home win over Sydney FC – the defending champs’ only loss of the season so far. It was also just WSW’s second win in the last 18 Sydney derbies.
Whichever way you break this one down, it’s hard to see Wanderers forcing a repeat upset of their overbearing crosstown rivals.
