On Friday afternoon, two games in the Australian football league are going to happen. In the 2nd match, Adelaide United will host Sydney. After 22 games, Adelaide has 11 wins, 7 draws, 4 losses, a total of 40 points and 2nd place while Sydney has 8 wins, 4 draws, 10 losses, a total of 28 points and 6th place. In this game, I'm predicting that Adelaide won't lose.

Adelaide has been very hot lately. The team hasn't lost a single game after January 7th, capturing 7 wins and 4 draws. The team not only collects points but also scores a lot of goals. Adelaide has scored at least 3 goals in the last 4 games and has a total of 21 goals in the last 6 games. At home, Adelaide has 5 wins and 2 draws in the last 7 games and they haven't lost a single game in front of their fans in 2023! Overall this season, Adelaide has 7 wins, 2 draws and 1 loss in 10 home games, with a total of 24 goals scored and 11 conceded (3rd best). Per xG, the team is expected to score 1.88 goals and and concede 1.69.

Sydney isn't having the best stretch of the season. In the last 3 games, they have 2 losses and a draw but in the last 6 games, Sydney has just 1 win, 2 draws and 4 losses. While Sydney is one of the best road teams this season, they have 2 wins and 3 losses in the last 5 games. Since the restart of the season, Sydney has 3 road wins but not in all games opponent was the best: Newcastle Jets (8th), Melbourne Victory (11th) and Western Sydney Wanderers (4th, got a red card in the 2nd half). Overall this season, Sydney has 5 wins and 1 draw in 11 road games, with a total of 17 goals scored and 16 conceded. Per xG, the team is expected to score 2.01 goals on the road and concede 1.64.

Both teams doesn't have injury concerns. The 1st meeting of the season ended with a 2:2 draw in Sydney. Adelaide took the lead but received a red card 27 minutes later. While Sydney was able to get a 2:1 lead, Adelaide managed to tie the game. At this point of the season, Adelaide has been much better, especially on offense. They are playing like historical Brazilian teams which scored as many goals as needed in order to win. While Sydney has a good road record, their latest performance doesn't give encouragement so I'm expecting Adelaide to get at least a point.

周五下午，澳大利亚足球联赛将举行两场比赛。在第二场比赛中，阿德莱德联队将主场迎战悉尼。22场比赛结束后，阿德莱德11胜7平4负，积40分，排名第二;悉尼8胜4平10负，积28分，排名第6。在这场比赛中，我预测阿德莱德不会输。

阿德莱德最近很热。自1月7日以来，球队没有输过一场比赛，取得了7胜4平的战绩。这个队不仅得分而且进了很多球。阿德莱德在最近4场比赛中至少打入3球，在最近6场比赛中总共打入21球。在主场，阿德莱德在过去7场比赛中取得了5胜2平的战绩，他们在2023年的球迷面前没有输过一场比赛!本赛季，阿德莱德在10个主场比赛中取得了7胜2平1负的成绩，共进24球丢11球(排名第三)。根据xG，球队预计进1.88球，丢1.69球。

悉尼队的表现不是本赛季最好的。在过去的3场比赛中，他们2负1平，但在过去的6场比赛中，悉尼只取得了1胜2平4负。虽然悉尼是本赛季最好的客场球队之一，但他们在过去5场比赛中取得了2胜3负的战绩。自赛季重新开始以来，悉尼队取得了3场客场胜利，但并不是所有比赛的对手都是最好的:纽卡斯尔喷气机(第8名)，墨尔本胜利(第11名)和西悉尼流浪者(第4名，在下半场吃到红牌)。本赛季，悉尼队在11场客场比赛中取得5胜1平的成绩，共进17球失16球。根据xG，球队预计在客场进2.01球，丢1.64球。

两支球队都没有伤病问题。本赛季的第一次交锋在悉尼以2:2的平局结束。阿德莱德取得领先，但在27分钟后吃到红牌。悉尼队以2:1领先，阿德莱德队则设法扳平比分。在本赛季的这个时候，阿德莱德已经好多了，尤其是在进攻端。他们踢得就像历史上的巴西球队一样，为了赢球而尽可能多地进球。虽然悉尼有良好的客场记录，但他们最近的表现并没有给人鼓励，所以我预计阿德莱德至少能得到一分。
