Western Sydney v Melbourne Victory
Date: Sunday 10 December
Time: Kick-off: 5pm (AEDT)
Location: CommBank Stadium, Parramatta
PREVIEW
Our boys in blue face one of their biggest tests of the season when they come up against the undefeated Western Sydney Wanderers in Parramatta.
While Tony Popovic’s side also remains undefeated, four draws in the last four league matches have left desired points on the table.
After scoring one of the goals of the season last week, Bruno Fornaroli will look to continue his stellar form to start the season as he leads the league in the Golden Boot race with seven goals in six games.
History won’t be on Victory’s side tomorrow afternoon as Western Sydney has won six of their last eight A-League Men games against our boys in blue after having won only one of their previous 17 meetings in the competition.
It’s going to be a tough test coming up against one of the best defences in the league, with the Wanderers having kept four clean sheets already this season.
Marko Ruden’s side are coming off a comeback 2-2 draw against the Brisbane Roar to keep their undefeated season alive as they sit second on the A-League Men’s table.
