Melbourne Victory is for Sydney an serious team at the moment. Especialy because they sit first placed on the standings of A-League.

Victory lost only once in 13 last games, while in a new season they sit on top with a 4-2-1 record so far. The game will be the Victory’s 1st in the last 2 week after the Covid-19 run through the club.I n contrast, the Sydneys will now play their 5th game in less than 2 weeks. The key info here is related to Sydney FC : Visitors are without injured attackers Adam Le Fondre and Kosta Barbarouses, and also now lost goalkeeper Andrew Redmayne and fullbacks Rhyan Grant and Joel King to NT duty. What makes me motivated is a speech of home coach: Tony Popovic has promised his A-League-leading team will show a battling and depleted Sydney FC no mercy in of the home arena. Talk about his players.. : “They look happy and they look ready to play, and we want to put on a really good performance, and if we can do that, I think we can get the three points.” “Anything less than 100 per cent focus and commitment from us will not be enough, regardless of who’s in or out for them. So, the home team is ready for this game without doubt.

Only what is with Sydney here for is a tradition in mutual matches as they had really been good against Melbourne, 8 last games in a row Sydney won! But the moment is never harder for Sydney, and they never looked so poor in A League for ages...Asked about the chances of his team, away coach didn't sound so positive at a press conference: “It’s going too be very tough to go to Melbourne and win, but we will put out the best side available,” Corica said.

Too many players missing for Sydney, while Melbourne surely wants to stop negative h2h and keep themselves at the top of the league. The moment is never better for Melbourne to dominate over rivals.

墨尔本胜利对于悉尼来说是一个严肃的团队。尤其是因为他们在甲级联赛中排名第一。

在上个赛季的13场比赛中，他们只输了一场，而在新赛季，他们以4-2-1的战绩高居榜首。这将是新冠肺炎疫情席卷俱乐部后的最后两周内胜利队的第一场比赛。相比之下，悉尼队将在不到两周的时间里打他们的第五场比赛。这里的关键信息与悉尼FC有关:客队没有受伤的前锋亚当·勒Fondre和科斯塔·Barbarouses，现在也失去了守门员安德鲁·雷德梅尼、边后卫瑞恩·格兰特和乔尔·金到NT的任务。让我充满动力的是主场教练的一次演讲:托尼·波波维奇承诺，他领导的a联赛球队将在主场展现一支斗志昂扬、疲惫不堪的悉尼队。谈谈他的球员…他说:“他们看起来很高兴，他们看起来准备好了比赛，我们想要有一个真正好的表现，如果我们能做到这一点，我想我们可以拿到三分。“如果我们没有百分之百的专注和投入，那将是不够的，无论谁支持或不支持他们。”毫无疑问，主队已经为这场比赛做好了准备。

悉尼在这里的唯一原因是两队比赛中的传统，他们在对阵墨尔本的比赛中表现很好，悉尼已经连续赢了8场比赛!但这一刻对悉尼来说从来没有这么艰难过，而且他们在联赛中看起来从来没有这么穷过……在记者招待会上，当被问及他的球队获胜的可能性时，客场教练听起来并不乐观:“去墨尔本并赢得比赛将会非常艰难，但我们会派出最好的队伍，”科里卡说。

太多的球员错过了悉尼，而墨尔本显然想要停止负面的h2h，保持他们在联盟的顶端。对墨尔本来说，这是压倒竞争对手的最佳时机。
