Western United finished 3rd in regular season of A-Legaue. They closed it with 45 points, 4 less than winners Melbourne City.

This year as I said in previous picks, Western United built a very good roster with big names but also kept many key players from last season.

In previous round they managed to beat Wellington Phoenix 1-0. Best player Prijovic scored in 10 min and after that Western United just defend very well. Should be mentioned also the gk Jamie Young probably the best player in that game.

“It’s huge for the club. Another home final against Victory – that’s massive.The players deserve it, and the Club deserves it. It’s massive for the game in Melbourne and we’re excited to be there.

We know it’s going to be difficult because Victory are a good side, but we also believe in ourselves and believe we can play it with anyone. It’s huge, over two legs, both at AAMI Park, so it’s another two home finals for us really." said coach Aloisi.

No important missings for Western United in this game.

Melbourne City in other hand finished 2nd in regular season. Just 1 point from 1st place, they have been a really solid team this year. Coach Tony Popovic showed that he is really one of the best in Australia.

So far Melbourne City are not losing from 15 games.

No important missings for Melbourne, they also have the advantge of having more days to prepare this game.

I predict a very closed game in this 1st leg of semifinal. Maybe both teams will start with a cautious approach and decide it in the 2nd leg.

GL!

西联在甲级联赛常规赛中排名第三。他们以45分结束比赛，比冠军墨尔本少4分。

就像我在之前的选秀中说的，今年，西联建立了一个非常棒的大名单，但也保留了很多上赛季的关键球员。

在上一轮比赛中，他们以1比0击败了威灵顿凤凰队。最佳球员普里约维奇在10分钟内进球，之后西联防守非常好。还应该提到的是，杰米·杨可能是那场比赛中最好的球员。

“这对俱乐部来说意义重大。又一场主场决赛，对手是胜利，这是巨大的。这是球员应得的，也是俱乐部应得的。这对于墨尔本的比赛来说是巨大的，我们很高兴能来到那里。

我们知道这将是困难的，因为胜利是一支很好的球队，但我们也相信自己，相信我们可以与任何人比赛。这是非常重要的两回合比赛，都是在AAMI公园，所以这对我们来说是又一个主场决赛。”

在这场比赛中，西联没有重要的失误。

另一方面，墨尔本在常规赛中排名第二。只差1分，他们今年真的是一支很稳固的球队。教练托尼·波波维奇证明了他是澳大利亚最好的球员之一。

到目前为止，墨尔本没有输过15场比赛。

对墨尔本来说没有重要的缺阵，他们的优势是有更多的时间来准备这场比赛。

我预测半决赛第一回合将会是一场势均力敌的比赛。也许两队都将以一种谨慎的方式开始，并在第二回合决定。
