    Script:

    The Western Sydney Wanderers are confident of causing an upset in the deciding leg of the Asian Champions League Final.

    A win against Al Hilal on Saturday will see them become the first Australian side to take the title.

    Manager Tony Popovic says his players have a lot of belief heading into the tie.

    SOUNDBITE (English) Tony Popovic, Western Sydney Wanderers manager:

    "We're in the final two in Asia, so I don't need to give them any special motivation. They're motivated enough, they're not here for a holiday, they're here to win a final... and we're ready."

    Tomi Juric netted the only goal in last weekend's first leg in Sydney to give the tournament newcomers a surprise 1-0 win over the two-time Asian champions.

    SOUNDBITE (English) Tony Popovic, Western Sydney Wanderers manager:

    "If you classify luck making the final, then we're lucky. If you classify winning one-zero at home in a final, then we're lucky. So I'll leave that to your interpretation."

    The Wanderers have put together a remarkable run to reach the final.

    Captain Nikolai Topor-Stanley.

    SOUNDBITE (English) Nikolai Topor-Stanley, Western Sydney Wanderers captain:

    "There's always going to be pressure, and we're up to that. We're prepared to face a very good team and we know what we're up against. But we're confident in our own ability."

    The Wanderers need only a draw to take the title.

    Al Hilal are unbeaten at their home ground this season and will be boosted by the return of striker Yasser Al Qahtani.
