Command Analysis
Current form
Melbourne Victory were the finalists of the A-League last season, but they failed to win the title - the team lost in extra time to Central Coast Mariners. The current championship draw is not going so well for the hosts. The club is only seventh in the standings and is two points behind the sixth position. The hosts still have a game in hand. The last matches were unsuccessful for Victory. Recently, the finalist of the Australian championship lost to Western United (3:4) and Adelaide United (2:3).
Disqualifications and injuries
The hosts have no losses in their squad ahead of the match with Sydney.

Current form
Sydney are fighting for a playoff spot this season and currently sit fifth, just three points behind third-placed Melbourne City. They managed to return to the top six thanks to two confident home wins - over Perth Glory (3:0) and Central Coast Mariners (4:1). After that, the visitors drew with Wellington Phoenix (0:0), and then unexpectedly lost to one of the weakest clubs in the championship, Brisbane Roar (3:4). This defeat was the first in the last seven matches.

Douglas Costa will miss the match due to injury, while Kevin Popovich is questionable.

2.07Tip and bets
Both teams have not shown their best football in recent matches. The hosts have not won for six matches in a row, and the visitors have earned only one point in two matches against opponents from the bottom half of the table. It is difficult to make a preference in favor of one of the opponents, so we suggest betting on a draw.
Our prediction is a draw at 3.95
Bet on total
The opponents often lose, but regularly have productive matches, so the clubs will probably bet on attack now. In the last round, the hosts' match gave the spectators five goals, and the away match - seven. Most likely, the opponents will have a productive match in the face-to-face match as well.
Our prediction is total over three goals for 1.80
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.
Our prediction is total over 10.5 corners for 1.70
