WST vs SYD Dream11: Western United have now lost three matches in succession after going down to a 3-0 loss to Perth Glory earlier in the week. That defeat means they have now conceded ten goals in those three games and that poor defensive record is a big worry ahead of their clash with Sydney. The reigning champions were frustratingly held by Newcastle Jets last time out but having lost just one of their last eight, they should be able to come away from this contest with at least a point.
Date: 15 May, Saturday Time: 10:05 AM (IST) Venue: Mars Stadium
