Sydney FC will play host to Melbourne Victory in the A-League on Matchday 20 this Saturday. The Sky Blues and the Big V are third and fifth in the league standings, respectively, after 19 games. Let’s get into the match prediction!
Sydney FC cut the gap to league leaders Newcastle Jets to five points last weekend, thanks to a hard-fought 1-0 victory over Wellington Phoenix on the road.
The Sky Blues are now unbeaten in their last three games (W2 D1) and have kept clean sheets in their last two matches. They have not kept three shutouts in a row since March last year.
The hosts have the third-best home record in the league this season with 16 points from eight games (W5 D1 L2), and they have won their last two games against this opponent at this venue.
Meanwhile, after losing three of their first five games in 2026, Melbourne Victory are starting to find some consistency lately, now unbeaten in four after a 1-1 draw to Adelaide United last week (W2 D2).
Notably, though, the Big V have not kept a clean sheet in their last five matches. However, the last opponent they did shut out was Sydney back at AAMI Park at the end of January.
The visitors have taken 15 points from 10 away games this season (W4 D1 L5), but 10 of those points have come in their last five top-flight matches on the road.
