Melbourne City vs Sydney: Top Free Betting Tips

The league leaders, Melbourne City will be keen to return to their winning ways when they see Sydney in the next A-League fixture on Saturday, 25 February. City Boys faced a defeat against Melbourne Victory while the Sky Blues dropped two points against Brisbane Roar before this game.

Match Result Prediction: Melbourne City to Win

Melbourne City has registered only two victories in the last six league outings, ending three in draws. On the other hand, Sydney has won three of the last four attempts in the A-League. However, City Boys have been impressive at home and didn’t lose a single attempt this season, winning four of the last five. Melbourne City has also outclassed Sydney at home by winning all of the last four hosting H2Hs against the Sky Blues. Hence, we expect City to have the upper hand at the end of this game.

Both Teams to Score Prediction: Yes

Three of the last four H2Hs of these teams have ended with both teams scoring at the same time. Melbourne City has secured a scoring string recently but the team has also allowed goals in all of the last five attempts. On the contrary, Sydney FC has also been on the scoring side in four of the recent five attempts away from home, while conceding goals in three of them. Based on these stats, it would not be unusual to witness this game ending with a BTTS pattern.

Correct Score Prediction: 3-1 to Melbourne City

Sydney FC has hit the target more than once in only two of the last five league attempts. The Sky Blues have also added a total of only three goals in the previous four visiting H2Hs against Melbourne City. Nevertheless, the hosts have been at their best in this respect as they scored three or more goals in four of the last five hosting duels. City Boys have also rattled the net ten times in just the previous three home attempts against the upcoming rivals. Therefore, we predict a 3-1 result for City Blues in this game.
