Preview:
The Sydney Derby has fast become one of the standout fixtures in the A-League and we’re set for another thrilling edition on Saturday night. Both clubs managed draws in Week 1 and will be eager to take all three points away from their fierce rivals.
The Sky Blues have clearly been the league benchmark through the last two seasons and they are eager to lift a fourth championship trophy this time, after their shock exit in last season’s semis. A win over the Wanderers would do plenty not only for their position on the ladder, but also their confidence.
The Wanderers didn’t appear to stand much chance against the Glory in Perth first-up, but they did extremely well to fight back into the match in the second half and ultimately, find an equaliser. They will be quietly confident of getting the result over Sydney as outsiders.
There’s enough meat on the bone for Sydney to win and I think that they will, in a tight one.
