Western United vs Sydney prediction and match odds

In this article, you’ll familiarize yourself with our top Western United vs Sydney predictions for matchday 13 of the A-League.

Sydney to win

After 12 games played so far, Wester United are finding themselves in 11th place with a fragile one-point lead over Melbourne Victory who have a postponed game yet to be played. After the game on the 21st, we just might see Western United sink to the bottom of the table as Sydney are considered favorites to win this game. And for a good reason.

After all, the visiting team did win five of the eight games between the two teams. The remaining three ended with two narrow victories for Western United and a 1:1 draw on the 12th of February, 2022.

Robert Mak to score

With his lung-bursting runs down the right, Robert Mak is truly a winger and a half! He’s been at his lethal best this season netting four goals in 12 games and we expect more of the same from him on the 21st of January as Western United simply can’t rely on defense anymore.

With an attacking mentality in mind, coach John Aloisi will risk dangerous counter-attacks and it’s Robert Mak who knows how to exploit open spaces the best from the away team’s starting XI.

Western United odds: 9/5 (2.80) – 34.0%

Draw odds: 5/2 (3.50) – 27.0%

Sydney odds: 29/20 (2.45) – 39.0%

As you can see from the odds above, Sydney are the bookies’ favorites to win on the 21st of January at 29/20 (2.45) and a 39.0% chance of success. Western United’s odds stand tempting at 9/5 (2.80) as well which means there’s a solid 34.0% possibility for a home team triumph on Saturday. Sure, at 11/5 (3.20), there’s only about a 31.0% chance for Robert Mak to score but we stand by our second Western United vs Sydney prediction as the winger has been sensational this season.

Predicted lineups, team news, and last result

Western United

With three victories, three draws, and six losses in the 12 games played so far, Western United didn’t deserve anything better than the 11th place in the ranking. Coach John Aloisi doesn’t seem to have the arsenal to motivate his boys to greatness, as we have yet to see the first Western United victory in 2023. The match versus Newcastle Jets can only be described as a lucky encounter as there was nothing positive happening for Western United except the final score which was a 1:1 draw.

Predicted lineup – Young (GK), Risdon, Imai, Lacroix, Topor-Stanley, Doumbia, Kilkenny, Pierias, Wales, Pain & Prijovic

Sydney

The 2022/23 A-League campaign is a bitter disappointment for Sydney’s fans as much as we’d like for it to have been otherwise. The five-time Australian champions are underachieving hard and it’s no wonder why the fans are angry at the moment. With four victories, two draws, and six wins, you are never going to win the A-League. Coach Steve Corica’s boys even failed to defeat Perth Glory on the 14th of January as they were nail-bitingly close with 15 shots at target which only earned them one point.

Predicted lineup – Redmayne (GK), Caballo, Gurd, Donachie, Grant, Caceres, Brattan, Burgess, Lolley, le Fondre & Mak

Starting lineups

*Starting lineups are usually announced 1hr before the kick-off

Player to watch: Rhyan Grant

The 31-year-old right-back is undoubtedly one of coach Steve Corica’s key players as he’s been rock-solid at the back. With his lung-bursting runs down the right flank, Sydney have the capacity to push higher up the pitch than most A-League teams.

Rhyan Grant is equally adept at defense as he is at attacking and he proved that in the last fixture when he bagged a lovely goal for his team. He’s definitely on our radar for the game on the 21st.
