Sydney FC play host to Melbourne Victory on Wednesday with the opportunity to move into second position in the A-league standings.

While the home side have collected seven points from their last four fixtures, the struggling visitors are without a win in five outings.

We say: Sydney FC 2-1 Melbourne Victory

Sydney have been far from perfect in recent games, but so have Victory, who are now struggling under Kean.

With that in mind, we expect to see a comfortable win for the home side after nullifying the early enthusiasm of their opponents.

Perth Glory square off against Adelaide United on Wednesday with the chance to move into the mid-table positions in the A-League standings.

While Glory are full of confidence after three wins in a row, Adelaide ended a lengthy streak without success against Brisbane Roar at the weekend.

We say: Perth Glory 2-1 Adelaide United

With three wins in succession, Glory will have to cope with the expectations which come with positive results.

Nevertheless, we are backing the home side to continue on their upward trajectory, outlasting opponents who will still be unsure of themselves at both ends of the pitch.
