The final fixture on Matchday 2 in the A-League will see Sydney FC playing host to Adelaide United on Sunday. The Sky Blues had the best defence in the league last season, which sees us leaning toward a relatively low-scoring outcome here as our match prediction.
Sydney FC endured a disappointing start to their A-League campaign last week when they were held to a frustrating goalless draw by last season’s bottom club Western Sydney Wanderers.
The Sky Blues were some way from their best, managing just 44% possession, 0.72 xG, creating just a single big chance, and recording only one of their nine total shots on target.
This week’s hosts have now drawn each of their last four league home games either side of the offseason and have not won a top-flight fixture at Sydney Football Stadium since February 21.
Meanwhile, owing to their participation in the AFC Champions League 2, this will be Adelaide United’s first match in the 2026-27 A-League season.
The Reds have been good in the continental competition this term, following up a 3-0 victory over Tai Po in their opener with a 2-1 win against Pathum United on the road last Thursday.
The visitors took 19 points from their 14 away league games last season, which included a 2-1 victory over this opponent at this venue in February.

Our Sydney vs Adelaide United Prediction
Sydney FC endured a frustrating start to the season as they were unable to find a breakthrough against Western Sydney Wanderers, but the major positive from that match was that they were solid in defence.
Adelaide United have been in good form in the AFC Champions League 2 this season, but it will be interesting to see how they fare in the league competition. We feel the under is the safe play in this clash. Our Sydney FC vs Adelaide United prediction is under 3.5 goals.
