Adelaide United vs Sydney FC prediction

Both Adelaide United and Sydney FC will be looking to improve on what we saw from them last season. Sydney FC in particular, had a campaign to forget with them not qualifying for the Finals series, a big failure from their perspective. With that in mind, expect a breathless start here as the two teams look to push bodies forward whenever possible and really attack from the off.

It’s never easy to call how the first game of a new season will go but Adelaide United and Sydney FC are each likely to see this match as an extremely winnable one that should be reflected in their respective playstyles. Goals may well be on the menu, so consider backing over 2.5 of them across 90 minutes.

Adelaide United vs Sydney FC tip: Over 2.5 goals
