1.90Tip and bets
The hosts have had a great start to the year and are now only three points behind the top spot. There is still no sign of a break in the visitors' game, so Sydney has a great chance to catch up with the leaders. In their current state, Brisbane Roar are unlikely to be able to do anything against such a strong opponent, so we'll bet on the home team success.
Our betting tip is Asian handicap (-1.5) on Sydney for 2.05
Bet on total
It is worth noting that in none of the last five home matches have the hosts scored less than three goals. Surely, in a game against a clear underdog, the club will act in an attacking manner, so we will probably see a lot of goals this time too.
Our prediction is total over 3.5 goals for 2.00
Bet on corners
The hosts will likely dominate the game for the entire 90 minutes, pinning their opponents back into their penalty area. This will likely lead to an overwhelming advantage in corner kicks.
Our prediction is Asian handicap (-2.5) on corners for Sydney at 2.00
