The Western Sydney Wanderers return to Wanderers Football Park on Saturday afternoon looking to respond strongly when they host St George City in Round 19 of the NPL NSW Men’s competition.
The Red & Black saw their four-match unbeaten run come to an end last weekend, falling 2-0 to Sydney United 58 in a hard-fought contest. Despite the result, there were plenty of positives to take from the performance, with the Wanderers continuing to show the attacking intent and resilience that has driven their recent rise up the ladder.
After scoring 11 goals across their previous two matches, the Wanderers were unable to find a breakthrough against one of the competition’s form sides, but will be eager to return to winning ways in front of their home supporters.
Saturday’s clash presents an important opportunity for the Wanderers as they continue their push towards the finals positions. Sitting just outside the top six, every point will prove crucial during the closing stages of the campaign.
Their opponents, St George City, arrive in Western Sydney with plenty to play for themselves. A heartbreaking late setback last week saw them surrender valuable points, leaving them firmly in the battle to avoid relegation and desperate to create some breathing space over the teams below them.
With both sides chasing important points for very different reasons, supporters can expect a fiercely contested encounter at Wanderers Football Park.
The Wanderers will be aiming to rediscover the free-flowing football that produced a string of impressive performances in recent weeks and take another significant step towards securing a place in the finals series.
