Sydney FC vs Adelaide United Tips & Predictions

Adelaide United will be looking to pile more misery on Sydney FC when the two teams square off in A-League Round 17 action at Allianz Stadium on Saturday.

It's been an outstanding season so far for Adelaide and I'm backing them to pick up at least a point in this fixture. Adelaide are unbeaten in 12 of their 13 games this term, suffering the fewest number of defeats in the competition. Sydney meanwhile have experienced an up-and-down campaign and they are struggling at the moment, coming into this encounter on a three-game winless streak - including suffering back-to-back defeats. Both teams to score has also featured in the last 11 meetings between the teams, so expect goals at both ends once again.

Head To Head

These two teams played out a thrilling 3-3 draw in their last meeting back in Round 9. Adelaide were up 3-1 with six minutes remaining, but Sydney scored two late goals to salvage a point. Injured star Douglas Costa was on target twice for the Sky Blues in that clash.

It was looking like Sydney had finally clicked into gear, but things have suddenly changed again and now the heavyweight club are once again languishing outside the top six.

Sydney head into this showdown on the back of a three-game winless streak, including an embarrassing 4-3 defeat at home against last-placed Brisbane Roar, who were previously winless for the season.

Things didn't get any better last week, with Sydney going down 2-0 against Melbourne Victory, one month after beating them 3-0.

Costa remains sidelined with a hamstring injury.

Adelaide United Form

Adelaide come into Round 17 flying high in second spot on the ladder and have a game in hand over Auckland at the top.

After missing out on the finals last term, Adelaide have been one of the most impressive teams of this season, going unbeaten in 12 of their 13 outings - while they've sensationally won all six of their games on the road.

The Reds have won three of their last four games overall, defeating Macarthur (2-1), Wellington (2-1) and Melbourne Victory (3-2) before last week's 2-2 draw against Auckland in a top-of-the-table clash.

Bailey O'Neil is still injured, while Jordan Elsey, Luke Duzel and Max Vartuli are in doubt.

Verdict

Sydney FC v Adelaide United

All the value is with Adelaide here.

The Reds have gone unbeaten in 12 of their 13 games this season and won all six fixtures on the road. Sydney meanwhile are on a three-game winless run and were upstaged in their last home game by rock-bottom Brisbane.
