The Western Sydney Wanderers NPL Women’s side return home on Sunday evening looking to continue their impressive run of form when they welcome Sydney University to Wanderers Football Park.
After enduring a four-game winless stretch, the Red & Black have responded strongly, claiming three consecutive victories to strengthen their position heading into the closing stages of the NPL NSW Women’s regular season.
The Wanderers’ latest victory came away from home against NWS Spirit, continuing a strong turnaround in form at an important point of the campaign.
Sunday’s clash provides another opportunity to build momentum and maintain pressure on the sides around them before the finals.
Sydney University arrive at Wanderers Football Park looking to snap a difficult run of results, having recorded just one victory from their last 12 matches.
Despite their recent form, Uni showed they remain a difficult opponent after earning a draw against league leaders Bulls FC Academy last weekend.
Sydney University took the lead in that contest before the Bulls responded, with Uni eventually settling for their seventh draw of the campaign.
The Key Decider: Maintaining momentum.
Three consecutive victories have given the Wanderers valuable momentum heading towards the finals, and continuing that run at home will be crucial.
Sydney University have proven difficult to put away this season, with their seven draws highlighting their ability to remain in contests. An early breakthrough could therefore be important for the Wanderers as they look to take control and make it four wins in a row.
With the visitors eager to finish their season strongly and the Wanderers pushing for the best possible finals position, there will be plenty at stake on Sunday evening.
