The action continues in the Australian A-League as Adelaide United and Sydney FC go head-to-head at the Allianz Stadium on Saturday.
Ufuk Talay’s men made it three consecutive victories last time out and will look to keep the juggernaut rolling this weekend.
Adelaide United were involved in a share of the spoils for the second consecutive game in the new year as they played out a 1-1 draw against Macarthur last Monday.
Carl Veart’s side have now failed to win six of their last seven outings, losing four and claiming two draws since the start of December.

Sydney have now won three games on the bounce, scoring nine goals and conceding four since losing successive games against Macarthur and Melbourne Victory back in December.
With 15 points from 11 matches, the Sky Blues are currently eighth in the A-League table, level on points with Saturday’s hosts, albeit with one game in hand.
