Sydney team news and form: Joe Lolley needs to step it up
It’s been a while since goalscorer-in-chief Lolley has managed to score a goal. However, with nine goals and seven assists since the start of the season, he remains the home side’s key weapon in the attack.
Predicted lineup: Devenish-Meares (GK), R. Grant, A. Grant, King, Courtney-Perkins, Segecic, Sena, Hollman, Caceres, Klimala & Lolley

Melbourne City team news and form: Vidmar fuming
Coach Vidmar was extremely frustrated after that 0-1 loss at Melbourne Rectangular Stadium on the 12th of March. Newcastle Jets produced only one shot on target, but it was enough to beat shot-stopper Behich.
Predicted lineup: Beach (GK), Trewin, Behich, Souprayen, Atkinson, Leckie, Ugarkovic, Kuen, Tilio, Rahmani & Caputo

Player to watch: Douglas Costa
Despite his advancing age, Douglas Costa remains a force to be reckoned with. The 34-year-old winger is proving his worth with each passing week, as he now has three goals and three assists for his new team. He will surely do his very best to disprove our top Sydney vs Melbourne City prediction.
Second player to watch: Andreas Kuen
Austrian midfielder Andreas Kuen is one hell of a creator! Since the start of the 2024/25 A-League campaign, he has managed to supply teammates with six assists. This is definitely why he is now a firm starter under coach Aurelio Vidmar’s rule.
