卫冕冠军悉尼在最后一场比赛中以1-0击败西部联队，并且希望从这场比赛中获得类似的成绩。他们那场比赛有27次射门都是正中靶心，当时的进球数可能更高。悉尼目前排在第3位，比水手低1分。水手位居第二，并处于半决赛季后赛的位置。如果悉尼想要捍卫冠军头衔，那么他们将超越水手队直升四强赛。正如我已经提到的，悉尼和墨尔本市是联盟中最强的球队，争夺冠军的斗争将在这两支球队之间进行。墨胜利继续了他们在联盟中的糟糕表现，他们在客场比赛中以3-1输掉了上场比赛，目前他们没有任何季后赛机会排名第11。对于这支球队来说，最大的问题是他们的防守，到目前为止，他们在联盟中的防守最差，我不知道他们将如何阻止悉尼的进攻，这是澳大利亚最好的进攻之一。悉尼是一支强大的球队，尤其是在他们的体育场上，我认为他们将以至少2个进球的差距赢得这场比赛。我认为悉尼将以3-1或3-0获胜。

我的预测：悉尼胜出

The reigning champions Sydney won their last game against Western United 1-0 and will want a similar result from this game. They had 27 shots on target and the result could be much higher. Sydney is currently 3rd with 1 point less than C.C. Mariners, who are second and in a position that leads to semi-final playoff. It would good for Sydney to get above the Mariners in order to skip the quarter-finals if they want to defend a title. As I already mentioned Sydney and Melbourne City are the strongest teams in the league and the fight for the title will be between these two teams. Victory continued with their bad performances in the league, they lost against Macarthur 3-1 on away game and they are currently 11th without any chances for playoffs. The biggest problem for this team is their defence, they have the worst defence in the league by far and I don't see how they will stop Sydney's attack which is one of the best in Australia. Sydney is a strong team, especially in their stadium and I think they will win this game with at least 2 goals difference. I think Sydney will win 3-1 or 3-0.

My prediction: Sydney to win (-1.5 Asian handicap)
