Moreover, Sydney’s odds at 2/1 (3.00) imply a 29.0% likelihood. It’s interesting that a 1-1 draw at 11/4 (4.25) has a solid 25.23% likelihood of success.

Melbourne Victory vs Sydney Lineups & Team News
Melbourne Victory
Seeing as Melbourne Victory have the 2nd-best attacking record in the league, we believe they will do just fine against Sydney even without goalscorer-in-chief Fornaroli. Another plus in favor of our Melbourne Victory vs Sydney prediction is the fact that coach Anthony Popovic’s boys have yet to lose a game this season.
Predicted lineup – Izzo (GK), Traore, Roderick, Da Silva, Geria, Brimmer, Marchan, Velupillay, Machach, Arzani & Oikonomidis
Sydney
The 2023 Australian Cup winners completely deserved their 4-0 win over Newcastle Jets last week. After all, coach Ufuk Talay’s boys had a massive 68.0% possession and 22 shots at target, which was four times as many as Newcastle Jets were able to produce.
Predicted lineup – Redmayne (GK), Grant, Girdwood-Reich, Lacerda, Courtney-Perkins, Hollman, Brattan, Lolley, Caceres, Burgess & Wood
Player to Watch: Zinedine Machach
Seeing as chief goalscorer Bruno Fornaroli got called up for international duty for Australia, it’s up to Zinedine Machach to be the difference-maker for coach Popovic. The manager will surely have a suitable replacement for Fornaroli, but all eyes will be on Zinedine, as he’s the 2nd-best finisher at Anthony Popovic’s disposal.
Zinedine Machach bagged four goals this season, whilst also supplying teammates with three valuable assists. He deserves to be among the starters for the home team and he’s rightfully singled out in our Melbourne Victory vs Sydney prediction.
