Sydney FC hosts Brisbane Roar in round 17 of Australian A-League. The match will be played on Friday, January 31st at Jubilee Oval (Sydney)
The desire of the Sky Blues to win the current A-League is limitless. Sydney’s game has the quality and the coach’s idea, but most importantly, they are lucky. Therefore, a spectacular victory over Melbourne Victory in the last round (0-3), combined with a draw between direct competitors City and Perth, are considered as quite natural results. Thus, the team of Steve Corica had an advantage of 10 points over the closest pursuers, and the Sky Blues are getting closer to the champion’s title. Moreover, there is a good opportunity to strengthen their advantage in the upcoming round because they have an excellent history of head-to-head meetings with Brisbane Roar. They won in five of the last seven matches, including a landslide 5-1 victory at the beginning of this season.

However, the “roar” of Robbie Fowler’s team has become recognizable in many parts of Australia in recent times. Brisbane became very close to the top six after the last rounds. It seems that they managed to set the away game in the right way, and seven points in the last three away matches are another confirmation of this.
Nevertheless, Sydney has no significant competition in the Australian championship, and it is hard to imagine that Roar is the team that can stop the Sky Blues. I think we should expect Sydney's eighth home win in a row.
Prediction for the match: Sydney FC to win
