Auckland FC and Sydney FC will meet at the Go Media Stadium on Matchday 16 of the A-League this Saturday. The Black Knights and the Sky Blues are third and second in the league standings, respectively. Let’s get into the match prediction.
Auckland FC will be hoping to get back to winning ways this week after suffering an unexpected 2-1 loss to Perth Glory, which saw them drop two places in the league standings last weekend.
That was the third match in a row without victory for the Black Knights, and they also conceded two goals in each of those games. They’ve never gone four in succession without victory in the top flight.
The hosts have taken just 11 points from seven home games this season, and have only won one of their last five at this venue since the start of November (D2 L2).
Meanwhile, Sydney bounced back from consecutive defeats to Wellington Phoenix and Melbourne Victory with a commanding 4-1 win at home to Western Sydney Wanderers last week.
The result marked the first time that the Sky Blues scored four goals in a game since November. However, they have failed to find the net in four of their last six coming into this one.
The visitors have won four, drawn one and lost four of their nine away games this season, but have scored 11 times on the road - the second-most in the top flight.

Our Auckland FC vs Sydney Prediction
After a remarkable first season in the A-League, Auckland have not been at their best this term and were pushed off top spot last weekend when they were shockingly beaten by Perth Glory.
Sydney will know that this is a golden opportunity to open up a gap over the Premiers, but they conceded four goals in their last away game and have only kept two clean sheets on the road so far this season. Our Auckland FC vs Sydney FC prediction is 2 to 4 match goals.
