Sydney FC vs Perth Glory Prediction and Betting Tips (08.01.2025)

Command Analysis

Sydney FC

Australia

Current form

Sydney always tries to get into the playoffs, but this season it will not be so easy. The semi-finalist of the last A-League draw is currently only in eighth place in the standings. The Sydney club started the season well, but due to defeats to Central Coast Mariners (1:2) and Western United (3:4), as well as points lost in matches with Adelaide United (3:3) and Newcastle Jets (2:2), they were eliminated from the playoff zone and are already four points behind the top 6. Sydney's last victory was over Melbourne Victory (3:0) in the last match of 2024.

Disqualifications and injuries

Douglas Costa will miss the match due to injury, while Joseph Lacey is in doubt.

Interesting trends for betting

The team has won only one of its last five matches.
In each of the last four matches the hosts have scored at least two goals

Probable line-up: Redmayne - Grant, Matthews, Popovic, Courtney-Peppen - Caceres, Leo Sena - Lolley, Hollman, Ouahim - Klimala.

Perth Glory

Australia

Current form

Unfortunately, Perth Glory remains among the weakest clubs in the Australian championship. Last season, the team took the last place in the A-League, scoring only 22 points in 27 matches. The visitors are four points behind their closest competitor. The start of the current tournament was also unsuccessful, and only on December 21 did they manage to win their first victory. The Perth club managed to beat another loser, Brisbane Roar (1:0), away. Unfortunately, they were unable to consolidate their success - in the last match of 2024, the Perth club was defeated by MacArthur (0:3) on their home field.

On January 3, the hosts were very close to victory. By the 90th minute of the match with Western United, David Zdrilic's charges were leading 2:1, but in the extra time they conceded two goals and lost 2:3. Jordan Laughton brought victory to United with a beautiful overhead kick.

Disqualifications and injuries

Mustafa Amini, Nikola Milesnic and David Williams are all out through injury.

Interesting trends for betting

The team has lost four of its last five matches.

Tip and bets

1.65handicap (-1.5) on Sydney

The hosts continue to lag behind the top 6, so the club urgently needs a win in this match. Perth Glory has looked weak since the start of the season and can hardly impose a fight on anyone. Considering Sydney's frantic motivation and the guests' terrible game form, we recommend betting on a confident victory for the favorite. Any other outcome will be perceived as a sensation.

Our betting tip is Asian handicap (-1.5) on Sydney for 1.65

1.9total over 3.5 goals

Bet on total

It is obvious that the hosts will go on the attack from the very first minutes of the match. The visitors have serious problems in defense, so Sydney will try to immediately take advantage of this. Face-to-face matches between the opponents almost always turn out to be productive, and the last one ended with a score of 7:1. Most likely, the players will not let the fans get bored now either.

Our prediction is total over 3.5 goals for 1.90

Bet on corners

We believe that the opponents will play attacking football, so there should be quite a few corners in this match. We suggest betting on the total over on this indicator as well.

Our prediction is total over 10.5 corners for 1.61
