Matchday 16 in the A-League kicks off with Melbourne Victory playing host to Sydney FC AAMI Park on Friday. Big V are seventh in the league standings while the Sky Blues are two spots above them in fifth. Let’s get into the match prediction!
Melbourne Victory are in desperate need of a positive result here. After losing their last match to Adelaide United, they are now winless in their last six games since mid-December.
Chief among the Big V’s problems of late is poor defensive performances, as they have conceded two or more goals in each of their last three games and in four of their last five.
The hosts have also experienced a downturn of form at home, failing to win any of their last three matches after winning three on the bounce at the start of the season.
Meanwhile, Sydney enter this match off the back of a seven-goal thriller against Brisbane Roar, which they unfortunately lost 4-3 despite a huge effort in the closing stages.
That result brought an end to a six-match unbeaten streak which included three wins and three draws. However, they have now scored two or more goals in seven of their last eight games.
Despite their impressive attacking output, the Sky Blues have yet to win an away game this season, drawing three and losing one of four to date.

Melbourne Victory are in a bit of a rut at the moment, having failed to win any of their last six league games and they have been shipping goals in bulk lately, conceding two or more in four of their last five.
That does not bode well for the hosts’ chances against Sydney, who are the highest-scoring team in the league with 32 goals in just 14 matches. Therefore, our Melbourne Victory vs Sydney FC prediction is over 2.5.
