Sydney FC, Recent FormHaving taken all 3 points, with a crucial 4-2 home win over Western United in their last league game, Sydney FC will undoubtedly be very satisfied with their work. They achieved 61% possession in that match and had 29 strikes at goal, with 11 hitting the target, up against Western United's tally of 14 efforts at goal, 6 of which were on target.
While they have been strong in attack with 12 goals scored in their last 6 games, their defence has let them down slightly, by conceeding 11 at the other end which has led to points being dropped. Of their last 6 games played at home, they've have been unable to score in 3 games and only kept 1 clean sheet.
In terms of results, it's been a bit of a mixed bag for Sydney FC recently, having won 3 and lost 3 of their last 6 games. They've had a poor start to their season losing 6 of 9 league games.
On an individual basis, Joe Lolley will be looking to get on the scoresheet again having scored 5 goals in Sydney FC's last 6 league games.

In that game they had 54% possession and managed 9 attempts on goal, with 3 on target, compared to Western Sydney Wanderers who had 20 attempts and 3 on target.
Manager Giancarlo Italiano will be reasonably pleased with his team's performances in front of goal, having scored 8 goals in their last 6 games, but will want to tighten up his defence with 4 goals conceded in the same period. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 games, and playing away from home, they're currenlty on a run of 2 clean sheets in a row.
