The visitors have gained excellent form and have not lost in 2025. At the same time, the hosts have experienced a decline, they failed to score points even in the match with Brisbane Roar from the last place. Adelaide United are aiming for the highest places in the A-League and are capable of beating the stalled Sydney. Perhaps we will bet on the success of the visitors in this confrontation.

The visitors are excellent in attack, scoring at least two goals in each match. Considering that the hosts have not been the best in defense lately, we will also have to bet on the attack.

Our prediction is total over three goals for 1.57
Bet on corners
Judging by the way the teams have been playing lately, they will be able to please fans with an abundance of over totals, including the number of corner kicks.
