Over their past six games, Aurelio Vidmar's Melbourne City have hit the target 9 times, with that being an average number of goals scored per match of 1.5.

Sydney FC
DLWDWL ⚖
Since a losing effort in their last game against Western United in A-League action, Sydney FC and their travelling fans will hope for a better result here.
In that game, Sydney FC managed 51% possession and 14 shots at goal with 3 of them on target. At the other end, Western United had 15 attempts on goal with 4 on target. Matthew Grimaldi (4') scored for Western United.
Sydney FC have seen success in front of goal in the lead-up to this encounter, having scored 11 times in their last 6 matches. Having said that, Sydney FC have had their own issues at the back, also conceding in 6 of those same matches. We will have to see whether or not that trend will be sustained in this game.
Coming into this contest, Sydney FC have not won against Melbourne City in away games against them for the last 5 matches in the league. They'll be keen to stop this run.
👥 Head to head
An examination of their past head to head meetings stretching back to 25/02/2023 tells us that these fixtures have not been fruitful for Sydney FC.

20 goals were yielded between them throughout the course of those matches, with 14 from City and 6 being from The Sky Blues. The average goals per game has been 3.33.
The previous league match between these clubs was A-League match day 24 on 29/03/2025 which ended up with the score at Sydney FC 2-3 Melbourne City.

Sydney FC boss Ufuk Talay has a number of players out of action. Jaushua Sotirio (Muscle injury), Aaron Gurd (Broken collarbone), Alex Grant (Calf injury) and Léo Sena (unknown injury) are not ready for selection.
⚡ Prediction
Our thinking is that Melbourne City should convert a lot of goal-scoring opportunities.
At the other end, Sydney FC will be up against it to find the back of the net although we do think it’s probable that they will be managing to get on the scoresheet.
We’re predicting a comfortable 3-1 win for Melbourne City when all’s said and done.
