Sydney FC will be out for FFA Cup Final revenge when they host Adelaide United at Jubilee Stadium on Sunday evening.
That clash at Coopers Stadium was an enthralling end-to-end match and a repeat is possible in Kogarah as Sydney FC look to bounce back from a 3-1 loss at Perth Glory on Wednesday evening that ended their run of four straight wins.
Adelaide, on the other hand, won on Wednesday, toppling rivals Melbourne Victory 2-0 as, perhaps ominously, Craig Goodwin scored another goal.
Sydney FC have had no problems scoring in recent weeks and the Sky Blues have history on their side – Adelaide United have not beaten them in the Hyundai A-League since April 2016 when a Bruce Djite double gave the Reds a 2-0 away win.
Key Opta stats
- Adelaide United have not scored against Sydney FC in their last three meetings in New South Wales.
- Sydney FC are undefeated in their last seven Hyundai A-League games against Adelaide, conceding just one goal in that time.
- Sydney FC have won their last two games at Jubilee Stadium, scoring 7 goals.
