Sydney vs Melbourne Victory Prediction & Betting Tips - A-League
by Thobelani Moyo | in A-League Predictions
Sydney FC plays host to Melbourne Victory at Allianz Stadium in the tenth round of the A-League. Sydney FC is eighth in the league standings, while Melbourne Victory is third. Here's our match prediction.Sydney FC dropped points for the fifth time this season following a 3-3 away draw against title-chasing Adelaide United on Saturday.
The Sky Blues have been in poor form in the league as they are winless in their last three games, recording two losses and a solitary draw. It's worth mentioning that they have won just one of their previous five matches, conceding two or more goals.
Their plans to return to the winning column will be temporarily delayed, considering they are winless in their last three encounters against Melbourne Victory, recording two losses and a solitary draw.
Such a display bodes well for Melbourne Victory, who come into this match seeking to extend their unbeaten run in the league to four games after a 1-1 draw against Melbourne City.
A 1-0 defeat against Wellington Phoenix on November 24th is the only defeat the Boys in Blue have suffered in their last eight games this season while recording five wins and two draws.
Their secret to success this season has been their rock-solid defense, which is currently the best in the league. They have conceded just five, with table-toppers Auckland FC allowing seven.
