Melbourne Victory Sydney betting prediction


Betting suggestion:

This match will oppose a Melbourne Victory team in a phase of change and in the middle of two games referring to qualifying for the finals of the AFC Champions League. Still assimilating the ideas of the new coach, the team may have some difficulty to be competitive enough with the champions, in order to leave with the victory in the pocket. In addition, Sydney had two weeks to prepare for this trip, the team remains very motivated and solely focused, for now, on the championship, which should bring Steve Corica's men closer to a good result.

Preview
Melbourne Victory and Sydney meet at AAMI Park, in a match for the 16th round of the A‑League. Sydney got a home win by (2‑1), in the last league head‑to‑head, played in 17‑11‑2019. The head‑to‑head history at this stadium, favours the home team, since in the last 4 head‑to‑heads they won 2, tied 1 and lost 1. Accordingly, in the last head‑to‑head played at this stadium, for the A‑League, on 26‑01‑2019, Melbourne Victory won by (2‑1). O. Toivonen (20' ) and J. Troisi (58' ) scored for Melbourne Victory and M. Ninković (63' ) for Sydney. Both teams register significant differences between home and away results, so the home/away factor is worth atention.

Analysis Mel Victory

The home team is currently in the 8th position of the league, with 15 points won, after 4 wins, 3 draws and 7 losses. In the penultimate match, they lost in an away match against Central Coast Mariners, by (3‑2). In the last match, they lost in an away match against Adelaide United, by (1‑0). This is a team that is often stronger at home, with the help of its supporters, so they usually make good use of the home advantage, since in the last 30 matches they register 5 wins and 10 losses in away matches; against 7 wins, 5 draws and 3 losses at their stadium. They come to this match after a home win against Bali United by (5‑0). For the league, Melbourne Victory won 9 points out of 21 possible points, after 2 wins, 3 draws and 2 losses in the last 7 home matches.

In this competition, they haven’t lost any of the last 4 home matches. They haven't been very strong defensively, since they have suffered goals in 7 of the last 10 matches, but their offense has scored frequently, since they have scored goals in 8 of the last 10 matches for this competition. In 14 matches for this competition, they have conceded the first goal 4 times and have never been able to turn the score around.

Melbourne Victory comes to matchday 16 of the championship with a campaign below expectations, as shown by the 8th place it occupies, three points away from the places that guarantee presence in the play-offs. Something that naturally led to a change in technical command, with the recently arrived Spaniard Carlos Pérez, who did not have the desired debut on the previous round. In a visit to Adelaide United, Melbourne Victory was defeated by 1-0, in a game in which the home team did more to effectively justify winning the three points. Last Tuesday, the new Victory coach achieved his first victory. And with a 5-0 rout, against Bali United, in the 2nd qualifying round of the AFC Champions League, a competition where the Australians will measure up soon after with the Japanese Kashima Antlers.

Confirmed Lineup: Lawrence Thomas, Adama Traoré, Benjamin Carrigan, Storm Roux, Leigh Broxham, Anthony Lesiotis, Migjen Basha, Elvis Kamsoba, Ola Toivonen, Andrew Nabbout, Robbie Kruse.
Coach: T. Popović.

Analysis Sydney

The away team is currently in the 1st position of the league, with 34 points won, after 11 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss. In the penultimate match, they won in a home match against Adelaide United, by (2‑1). In the last match, they won in an away match against Newcastle Jets, by (1‑2). This is a team that usually makes good use of the home advantage, stronger with the help of its supporters, since in the last 30 matches they register 5 wins, 5 draws and 5 losses in away matches, with 18 goals scored and 18 conceded; against 12 wins, 1 draw and 2 losses at their stadium, with 37 goals scored and 14 conceded. In the last 6 away league matches Sydney has a record of 4 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss, so they have won 13 points out of 18 possible.

In this competition, they haven’t lost any of the last 4 away matches. Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded goals in 8 of the last 10 matches, but their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored at least one goal in each of the last 10 matches for this competition. This is a team that likes to score first. They have opened up the score in 10 of the last 13 matches for the A‑League, they have reached half‑time in front in 8 of those 10 matches and have held on to the lead until the end of the 90' in 9 of them.

Champion Sydney remains firm in the lead of the qualifying table, with less than one game played compared to Melbourne City (2nd place), but an eight point advantage. The team appears on this return match of the 16th round, after having played last weekend. Still, the motivation could not be greater, as Sydney have won nine of their last 10 games, coming to this match from a series of three consecutive wins. In the last round in which they participated in,  after winning at home against Melbourne City (2-1) and Adelaide United (2-1), Sydney won away, in the trip to Newcastle Jets (2-1), with goals from Adam Le Fondre (top scorer for the team and the A-League) and Kosta Barbarouses, another of the team's main figures.

Confirmed Lineup: Andrew Redmayne, Rhyan Grant, Alex Wilkinson, Ryan McGowan, Joel King, Luke Brattan, Miloš Ninković, Paulo Retre, Alexander Baumjohann, Adam Le Fondre, Kosta Barbarouses.
Coach: U. Talay.
