Preview:
But the Victory kept their faint finals flame flickering with a 2-1 home win – just their fifth of the season – over Adelaide last Saturday, snapping an agonising six-match winless run. Andrew Nabbout’s stoppage-time strike got the three points for the Victory.
Meanwhile, Sydney FC are coming off a bad week. Their 13-game unbeaten streak ended with a 1-0 derby loss to Wanderers last weekend. Then they butchered a late lead against 10-man Jeonbuk outfit to draw their home Asian Champions League tie midweek.
Sydney have won 11 of their last 14 against the Victory, cementing the ascendancy in the rivalry created by the 6-1 semi-final mauling last season with wins at home (2-1) and away (3-0) so far in this campaign.
Despite both teams’ fortunes taking a turn in the past week, Sydney FC’s value as only a narrow favourite is too good to pass up. They have chalked up six wins and a draw from seven away games this season.
