Preview:
Sydney FC are on the road again in Week 8 and the league’s newest club are next in the crosshairs.
Western United can count themselves unlucky to have lost to the Mariners last week but regardless of that result, there is no doubt that they face a big rise in class this week and nothing short of a franchise-best performance will be required to beat this Sydney side.
The Sky Blues have returned to action in typically smart form this season, but last week’s thrashing win over the Glory in Perth was particularly impressive and it’s tough imagining any result other than another win materialising here. The $2.36 available for them at publish looks over the odds.
