Sydney FC vs Melbourne Victory match Prediction 22 November 2025

Sydney FC will aim to secure a win on their home soil and extend their winning ways to four games, and maintain their space in the top ranking in the league table, while Melbourne Victory will aim to secure a win on the road and bounce back to winning ways. Therefore, I expect both teams to find the net against one another, while I expect more than two goals to be recorded. However, even though I expect the visiting team to find the net, I expect the home team to display a high defensive play on their home soil, having kept a clean sheet in two games this season. So, I expect the visiting team to score below 2 goals.
