Wanderers failed to win any of their first three games after the A-League returned last month and were in danger of falling outside the two semi-final playoff spots in the standings. Western Sydney's season is going much better in comparison, despite a mini blip following the World Cup break. Having been AFC Champions League participants in 2020, they are on course for back-to-back bottom-placed finishes in the A-League if current form continues. One blow they have needed to deal with in the past month was losing star player Bruno Fornaroli on a free after a contract dispute, leaving a huge void in attack. They have picked up more points in their two games at their makeshift home ground than they have done in seven away games in the league this season, so that may give them some confidence going into this tie. Their home venue is still not ready either, so moving to Macedonia Park temporarily has not been ideal but still relatively successful.
With their home ground under renovation for the upcoming Women's World Cup too, they have been unfortunate at needing to play seven of their nine games so far away from home. Having lost two thirds of their games so far this season, it is no surprise to see Glory propping up the table.
