Melbourne City and Sydney FC will come face to face in the final match of the Australian A-League. Who will become the winner of the trophy?
"Melbourne City"
Melbourne City became the best team at the end of the regular season, finishing it on the first line with 49 points. The gap from the nearest pursuer was two points, and the opponent from the reporting match turned out to be the same pursuer. Before the start of the playoffs, Melbourne City played carelessly, as it secured the first place in advance. In three extreme matches, he suffered two defeats and once drew. In the playoffs, Melbourne returned to the winning path, beating MacArthur (2-0) in the semifinals.
"Sydney"
Sydney FC is approaching the final match in great shape and in a great mood, because it has a 6-match winning streak. Five victories were won during the regular season, in which Sydney finished in second place, and one was already in the playoffs, where the resistance of Adelaide United (2-1) was broken in the 1/2 final match. The current champion Australia looked much better than the opponent, which was confirmed by both the game and the score. The teams went to the break with the score 2-0 in favor of Sydney FC, and in the second half, Adelaide returned the intrigue, reducing the gap in the score, but it was not enough for more.
Statistics and figures:
- Melbourne City have won once in their last four games;
- Sydney FC won in six extreme matches;
- Sydney FC won against Melbourne City in one of the previous four matches.
Forecast
The two strongest teams of the current season will meet in the battle for the trophy. This is an important match, so it seems to me that both sides will act as carefully as possible in it, since any mistake can lead to defeat. I think that there will be few goals, a draw in regular time is quite likely.
