The A-League have saved the best until last this weekend, with a top of the table clash in Parramatta between Western Sydney Wanderers and Melbourne Victory.
It’s second versus sixth, with neither side having lost so far this year – a record the Wanderers just about maintained with a late equaliser at Brisbane Roar last weekend from Marcus Antonsson. It’s not always been scintillating from the red and black, but it has been super effective.
Vuck also drew, away on the Central Coast, and that has been the story of their season: though they are yet to lose, they only have two wins from their six games. On several occasions, they have dominated games but failed to turn that into goals, allowing opponents back in late to grab a share of the spoils.
It’s that dynamic that makes this game so interesting. Victory will happily take the bulk of the ball and play in the attacking half, but WSW will love that. Few teams in the A-League counterattack as well as they do.
We’ll be on from 4.30pm with all the action from CommBank Stadium – and it should be a cracker.
