Sydney FC is in 2nd position in the standings (41 points after 24 games). The men of Steve Corica chalked up 11 victories, eight draws, and five defeats. Sydney is aiming to finish the regular season after Melbourne City, which secured the 1st place ahead of schedule. To keep the 2nd place, the reigning A-League champion must not let the competitors go ahead. The closest ones, Central Coast Mariners and Adelaide United, are two and three points behind, respectively. Beyond that, one cannot dismiss Brisbane Roar, which is only one point behind Sydney in terms of points lost. The Sky Blues are in good shape. They gained victories in three consecutive rounds. Having beaten Western United (0-1) and Melbourne Victory (2- 0), Sydney dealt with Western Sydney Wanderers in the derby (1-0).
We will see the match of candidates for the 2nd position, which guarantees a direct ticket to the semifinals of the playoffs, and it will probably not please the fans with spectacular football. The cost of a mistake in the final rounds is too high, so the teams will focus on the reliable defense of their penalty areas. The latest results of competitors in the championship hint at low production. More than three goals were scored in only one of seven matches involving Adelaide United. Sydney scored and conceded fewer than three goals in five of six games.
Prediction for the match: Under 3.0 goals scored
