Auckland will look to stay in the top two spots of the 2025-26 A-League standings when they visit Western Sydney Wanderers on matchday nine. This match on Friday in Parramatta between the seventh-placed Wanderers and the second-placed ‘Black Knights’ comes with our prediction of both teams scoring goals.

With nine points, the Wanderers (W2, D3, L3), the hosts, are just one point above the bottom four sides while being just one point behind fifth. Auckland have 17 points (W5, D2, L1) and are only one point behind leaders Sydney FC ahead of this round.

The Wanderers drew 0-0 at home against Brisbane last weekend for a second scoring duck in a row, following one in a 1-0 defeat at Perth Glory a week before.

Getting back to the home venue could work to their advantage, as the Wanderers are unbeaten in four home league games (W2, D2) this season. That saw them keep clean sheets in their last two fixtures here.

Auckland won 2-1 away at Central Coast Mariners for a second win in a row, which was their fifth victory in their last seven fixtures (D1, L1). Their only defeat in that sequence came at home against Newcastle Jets on matchday six.

Playing on the road has worked to their advantage, as Auckland have won their last two league trips by a 2-1 score.
