Show Preview
Sydney FC play hosts from Jubilee Stadium for the last time this season as Sydney FC and Melbourne City play for their spot in the top 4. Join The Roar for live scores and coverage from 5pm (AEDT).
Conceding early made an already difficult task that much harder for the Sky Blues, as they fell 2-1 in Melbourne to the Victory last week.
A positive from the match was a return to form for Milos Ninkovic, who has struggled to repeat his performances of the last few seasons without the likes of Adrian Mierzejewski and Bobo to link up with.
Melbourne City continued their season without a striker against Wellington, and even though their midfielders and makeshift forwards have been doing the job amply, nothing was getting past ‘Nix keeper Filip Kurto, as they went down 1-0 in Wellington.
Naturally, both teams are going to need to improve if they hope to get a result out of this one. Especially in front of goal.
Both teams with big ins for this match as City see Dario Vidosic and Curtis Good return to the squad.
While Sydney get Jop van der Linden, Alex Brosque and Jacob Tratt back from injury, Rhyan Grant back from the Asian Cup, and new loan signing Reza Ghoochannejhad has joined up with the squad.
Sydney do lose Michael Zullo after he picked up his 5th yellow for the season last week, and they have omitted Joel King and Charles Lokoli-N’goy to make room for the returnees.
Prediction
City will look to score through their striking revelation Ritchie De Laet, but Sydney should prove too strong at home.
