Head coach Alen Stajcic has named his extended squad for Saturday night’s clash against Melbourne Victory at AAMI Park.
Western Sydney Wanderers travel to AAMI Park on Saturday night to face Melbourne Victory in another tough January assignment.
The Red & Black come into the fixture off a narrow 1-0 loss to local rivals Macarthur FC on New Year’s Day, a match where they created several late chances but were unable to find an equaliser despite sustained second-half pressure.
Melbourne Victory arrive in strong form, having secured a 3-2 win over Perth Glory to claim their fourth consecutive victory, with goals spread across the squad and a clinical edge in attack. The clash shapes as a significant test away from home against one of the competition’s in-form sides.
