Adelaide United vs Sydney match Prediction 17 October 2025

I expect Adelaide United and Sydney to showcase scoring abilities against one another early in this match at halftime since both teams are expected to come into this match with aim of winning their opening matchup. Therefore, I expect both teams to find the net at halftime, while I expect more than two or three goals to be recorded. Moreso, since both teams are expected to showcase class in front of the net, I expect more than ten corner kicks to be recorded since both teams will not give up in front of the net just like their four of their last six games, in which they recorded more than 10 corner kicks.
