PREDICTION
Both of these teams have their key Spanish strikers back for this game which are key additions to boost their firepower. 6 of Western Sydney's last 7 away matches in the league have seen both teams scoring, and with Asdrubal and Riera on the pitch, that is likely here

MEMORABLE MEETING
Just over a year ago these two sides faced off at Central Coast Stadium and it would be the travelling Western Sydney side who would come out on top thanks to an impressive 4-1 win.
