Sydney FC vs Adelaide United Prediction and Betting Tips | October 23, 2022

Sydney FC will invite Adelaide United to the Allianz Stadium in the third round of the A-League on Sunday (October 23).

The hosts suffered a 3-2 home defeat against Melbourne Victory in the Big Blue derby in their campaign opener before winning 3-1 at Western United last week. Robert Mak scored in both games and will look to continue his goalscoring ways here.

Adelaide, meanwhile, are yet to play at home this season and are winless in their first two league games of the campaign. They played out a 1-1 draw against Wellington Phoenix in their campaign opener before falling to 2-0 defeat against Macarthur last week.

Sydney are fourth in the league table with three points, while Adelaide are in ninth with one point.

Sydney FC vs Adelaide United Prediction

The Sky Blues have gotten off to a solid start in the league, at least in the goalscoring department, and are likely to enjoy a prolific outing here. They have a great home record against the visitors and are the favourites.

The Reds, meanwhile, have just one goal this season and might struggle. They emerged the victors in their clash at Sydney last season, but an encore looks unlikely. Sydney should secure a comfortable win.

Prediction: Sydney FC 2-1 Adelaide United
