We said: Melbourne Victory 1-2 Sydney FC

 We believe that Melbourne Victory's woes this season will be further compounded by Sydney, as they will edge a tight contest between the two sides. While Melbourne Victory have the better recent record in the head to heads between the two, Sydney are the more threatening side and we think that they will execute their chances more ruthlessly than their opponents to pick up a vital three points.
