This could be an interesting match as Adelaide United have their presumed home advantage while Sydney are ahead 17 points in the A-League table.
We should expect both teams to be fresh and ready for this match, as there is some time since both teams last played. Let's have a look at how the teams are doing!
These teams have little in common geographically as Sydney have to travel 1300 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.
