Sydney FC and Melbourne City will lock horns in the A-League Men Finals series semi-finals, with the first leg of the last-four contest set to take place in Sydney on Friday.
Melbourne comfortably finished top of the regular season table, picking up 55 points from 26 matches during a strong campaign, while Sydney were fifth, collecting 38 points from their 26 games. Melbourne are undoubtedly the favourites, and Sydney will have to play very well over the two legs to beat them. We are expecting a tight match on Friday but believe that the away team's attacking quality will allow them to claim a narrow advantage ahead of the reverse fixture.
