Melbourne City vs Sydney FC Prediction: Both teams are expected to score

The second leg of the Australia A-League semi final between Melbourne City and Sydney FC will take place at AAMI Park stadium. After the first leg of their match ended in a 1-1 draw, both clubs will be looking to advance to the next round by winning their respective second-leg matches. Below, you'll get advice and odds from industry professionals.

Three of their most recent five matches ended in victories for them; these victories came against Wellington Phoenix, Western United, and WS Wanderers. The other two matches, against Central Coast Marines and Sydney FC, ended in draws for them. Over the course of their last five games, they have scored a combined twelve goals while surrendering a total of six. They will enter this encounter with the hope of securing a victory over the opposing team, despite the fact that their previous match against the opponent took place on the road and ended in a stalemate.

In their most recent match, Sydney recorded a 1-1 draw at home against Melbourne City. This brought a stop to their four-match winning streak, but they are still undefeated in their current unbeaten streak. Their previous five matches ended with them winning four of them and drawing one. The teams they defeated were the WS Wanderers, the Newcastle Jets, the Brisbane Roar, and the Perth Glory. In their last five matches, they have scored eleven goals while only allowing three to be scored against them. In order for Sydney FC to be successful away from home in this encounter, they will need to perform better than they did in the last one.

The most recent five matches that Melbourne City and Sydney FC have played against one another ended with Melbourne City winning three, Sydney FC winning one, and both teams drawing in one match. In three of these matchups, they were able to make their way back to the net, and in four of these matchups, they scored more than two goals in their most recent five matchups against one another.

We're rooting for a high-scoring matchup. As a result, we do not anticipate more defensive play from both teams in the opening half of this match. This game, in which each team scored once against the other, is worthy of consideration. There should be plenty of chances for both teams to score, putting pressure on the defensive lines. Consequently, the referee will likely show a lot of caution cards due to the high number of fouls that will undoubtedly occur. In my opinion, the home team will win by a score of 4 to 2.
