Melbourne Victory - Sydney FC Prediction, Picks and Tips
Very good, new day in the A-League with a great match on Friday between Melbourne Victory and Sydney. We will seek the victory of the visitors without a draw, to cover us a little more. Victory is still out of the play off positions, is eighth with 15 points to three of Adelaide that marks the cut, 17 goals in favor and 19 against. They come from two losses to Adelaide 1-0 and Mariners 3-2. Before this they won the Jets easily 4-0 and a very successful vicotira against City by 1-2.
As you can see there are only two changes and this Friday I do not think that it makes many more changes because it does not have people of level, they will return to the eleven Toivonen in the tip, Poulsen half point and Barnett to the midfield, the rest of the team must be the same and Above all the defense must be the same with what this means with people so fast in Sydney. I understand that you want to give more importance to the Chmapions than to the league in a match that has more to lose than win. On the other hand, Sydney continues to dominate the A-League with 34 points, eight more than Melbourne City and Perth Glory. The games followed without knowing the losses with nine wins and a draw.
Not everything is good news in Sydney, as it has suffered the loss of O'Neil that has gone to Korea, a fundamental midfield pillar for Corica, so now Brattan will be fundamental in that position. Theoretically, the other position at his side must be for Retre or Caceres, but I think it will be the first one to continue playing. The rest of the attack positions if everything goes according to plan must be for Ninkovic, Baumjohann, Barbarouses and Le Fondre. Sydney's problem for me is on the bench, the other day before Jets was all kids except Zullo, now you can afford to lose someone from above but as it happened in Play Off .. They met in November in Sydney and those of Corica had to overcome the goal in the first part of Toivonen, at the end 2-1 with goals from Le Fondre and Barbarouses. Absolute dominance of the game with 60% possession, 19 shots for four from Melbourne. I believe that Victory will take its toll on repeating players in games so often and as I said before, I think that in defense they will suffer in the second half with the speed of Le Fondre and Barbarouses, this fact can be fundamental in the end. I also tell you that I trust victory directly but not to have a scare we go with this handicap at a good rate.
