The Wanderers, with a strong Round of 32 record, are backed to advance with a clean sheet. Expect the Wanderers to progress comfortably, as their class should prove too much for the NPL side.

Tigers FC vs Western Sydney Wanderers Verdict
Western Sydney Wanderers finished bottom of the A-League ladder last season, but can kick off the new campaign with a win. A new era Ufuk Talay can begin with a win over NPL ACT side Tigers FC.
- Tigers are playing just their second ever Australia Cup R32 game
- Tigers lost their only previous Australia Cup R32 game vs Hume City in 2019
- Wanderers have won nine of their 10 Australia Cup R32 games
- Three of Wanderers' last four wins vs NPL sides in the Australia Cup have been to nil
Head To Head
This will be the first ever meeting between the clubs.
Tigers FC Form
The Tigers play in the NPL ACT and are currently sitting in third spot on the ladder.
It was a slow start, but the Tigers have hit some good form in the league, winning seven of their last 10 games.
However, the Tigers have managed just one win from their last four games and are coming off a 2-2 draw with Queanbeyan City in their most-recent outing.
Aidan Milicevic is the star man for Tigers, with the forward holding an equal-share for most goals in the NPL ACT with 16.
English attacker David Owusu has also contributed with seven goals, so the Tigers will need big games for both if they are to pose any threat in this one.
Western Sydney Wanderers Form
As mentioned, it was a dismal A-League season for the Wanderers after they finished bottom of the pile and a whopping 17 points off the finals.
Western Sydney managed just five wins for the season, so former Sydney FC manager Ufuk Talay has a big job ahead of him for this upcoming campaign.
The Wanderers ended the A-League season on a five-game losing streak and will be eager to make amends, starting with the Australia Cup.
The club haven't really impressed in this competition, with their best result being back-to-back semi-final appearances in 2017-18. The Wanderers beat Peninsula Power 3-0 in the R32 last year before suffering a heavy 3-0 defeat to eventual finalists Heidelberg United.
Verdict
I'm backing the Wanderers to advance with a clean sheet.
