Sydney FC vs Jeonbuk Motors Tips, Prediction & Live Stream - Under 3.5 goals backed as Sydney aim for semi-finals

After coming away with a shock 2-0 triumph in South Korea last week, Sydney hold a big advantage coming into this second leg at home. Sydney are unbeaten in 13 of their last 15 games in all competitions head into this encounter - and avoiding defeat (or even losing by a single-goal margin) will ensure they advance into the semi-finals.

In saying that, Under 3.5 goals is the best bet for this second leg game. Jeonbuk aren't looking too flash at the moment and have failed to score a single goal in their last three outings in all competitions. Sydney have also seen Under 3.5 goals in their last three games, keeping a clean sheet in all three. I can see a cagey affair playing out as Sydney look to defend their lead. I'm not ruling out a Jeonbuk comeback if the Sky Blues do go into their shell, so Under 3.5 goals appeals for a number of reasons.

Jeonbuk were unbeaten in four previous meetings between the teams, but Sydney produced a stellar performance to register the upset in Jeonju last week, with striker Patryk Klimala scoring a brace.

Sydney might be battling to qualify for the finals in the A-League, but they are flying in the Champions League 2, where they have the upper hand to make the semi-finals.

With the final being played at Allianz Stadium if Sydney FC advance, there's a huge opportunity for the A-League side to reign supreme on the continental stage.

Ufuk Talay's side are unbeaten in 13 of their last 15 games in all competitions, but they haven't played much in the A-League lately due to their Champions League involvement.

Sydney defeated Macarthur 2-0 on March 1 before their brilliant 2-0 victory over Jeonbuk last week, where Klimala was the hero with a double.

Jeonbuk haven't been at their best in recent times and are now in real danger of crashing out of this competition in the quarter-finals.

The K-League heavyweights were expected to bring a lead down to Sydney for this second leg, but they were outplayed by Sydney last week and now have a mountain to climb.

Jeonbuk are struggling in front of goal, failing to score in their last three games, losing 1-0 to Ulsan Hyundai and Gangwon either side of the first leg defeat to Sydney.
