Considering the recent form and head-to-head record, I would recommend a Home Win for St George City FA at odds of 1.66. Despite their inconsistent performance in the last five matches, they seem to have an edge over Western Sydney W. II, especially when playing at home. The visitors' struggles in front of goal and their recent loss to Manly United also contribute to this recommendation. With decent odds on offer, a Home Win looks like a solid bet.
