Match Result Prediction: Sydney to Win
Melbourne City exploited Sydney's weaknesses to romp to a 3-2 victory. Sydney gave a good account of their abilities and will be confident in getting back to winning ways at Melbourne Victory's expense. The visitors will not be easy to tame as they have registered two wins and a draw since their defeat to Sydney four fixtures ago. However, the home advantage should prove too much to overcome for Victory, who were on the losing side in their own backyard. Based on this, we are backing Sydney to claim the three points on offer.
Total Goals Prediction: Over 2.5 Goals
Both Sydney and Melbourne Victory have a penchant for high-scoring affairs. Three of Sydney's last five fixtures have concluded in this manner, while three or more goals were seen in four of Melbourne's last five outings. Moreover, the last four duels between these sides have seen an Over 2.5 Goals conclusion at each time of asking.
Correct Score Prediction: 3-2 to Sydney
Neither side can be relied upon to keep their own third clean. They have a similar affinity for going on the offensive and it should produce a high-scoring affair. Melbourne Victory snared a 2-3 victory on their last trip here but we expect the reversal of the equation as a strong Sydney outfit makes amends for their mistakes last season.
Sydney vs Melbourne Victory: Form, Recent Games, and News
Sydney FC Preview
Sydney's run of three wins and a draw came to a close as they lost trying to overcome a stubborn Melbourne City. They did manage to piece the Hearts' backline twice in the five-goal thriller and will look to give a better account of their abilities against Victory. They earned bragging rights on their trip to AAMI Park and will have to complete the job in their own backyard as the playoff slots race heats up.
Melbourne Victory Preview
Melbourne Victory enters round 19 of the A-League rock bottom. However, their form is picking up with two wins and a stalemate in their last four matches, while also cutting down the lead to playoff slots to six. While they will want to avenge their defeat at home, a win also gets them off the last place and within three points of the playoffs with a match in hand
