Prediction
Looking at these two, we feel that Sydney FC and Adelaide United could both find themselves scoring on more than one occasion in a potential goal-fest with little between the two teams.
While there should be goals at both ends, itโs too close to call. Thatโs why we have predicted a 2-2 score draw at the end of this game.
