Melbourne Victory vs Sydney FC prediction

Melbourne Victory have found life tough of late, losing twice in succession after being blanked by Western Sydney Wanderers at home then following that up with a 2-1 defeat away to Adelaide United. With confidence having likely taken a dent among their squad, this represents a good opportunity for Sydney FC to capitalise.

Motivation will be extremely high for the fourth-placed visitors, knowing that a win would send them top of the table. Their most recent road game ended in a 0-3 win against Macarthur and key to this match will be their ruthlessness in front of goal. You’d expect a team of Sydney FC’s quality to create some big chances, so if they do show the same level of cutting edge then they stand an excellent chance of three points here. Consider backing them, but via the draw no bet market for extra security.
