Preview:
It’s time for the 21st edition of the Sydney Derby and third meeting of the two Harbour City clubs this season.
The Sky Blues have won the last four meetings, including a controversial Round 2 win at the SCG.
In the last four games Sydney have outscored the Wanderers 13-1 and have only lost once to their cross town rivals once in the last four plus seasons.
Western Sydney did pick up a much needed win last weekend against the Mariners but Sydney are a big step up on that and I am backing them to win here.
