Western Utd vs. Western Sydney (Sunday, 4.00am)
In their first of three consecutive A-League fixtures at Melbourne Rectangular Stadium, Western United will host the Western Sydney Wanderers on Saturday.
The club from Western Victoria have yet to win a home game in this domestic campaign, sitting dead last in the table, while their opponents this weekend are two points behind Melbourne City for first and unbeaten on the road in 2022-23.
We say: Western United 1-1 Western Sydney Wanderers
Sydney seem to be on the right track, but the season is still relatively early, plus, they have not shown much quality in the attacking third to date.
We expect the club from Melbourne, who have been better in recent outings, to dictate the play and have their share of possession, but still leaving plenty of gaps which the visitors could expose.

Macarthur and Perth Glory square off on Sunday looking for the win which may catapult either side up the A-League standings.
While the two clubs are currently in eighth and 11th spot respectively, victory at the Campbelltown Stadium will move either side into contention for the top three.
We say: Macarthur 2-1 Perth Glory
With both clubs plagued by inconsistency this campaign, this is a difficult match to call. While Glory got back to winning ways last time out, it came against opponents who are now bottom of the table, and we feel that the extra quality is more likely to come from the home side.
