Betting tip and prediction for this match between Adelaide United and Sydney
The best prediction for Adelaide United vs Sydney in the A-League is over 3.5 goals. Given the recent inconsistency displayed by both teams, relying on the handicap markets is quite challenging. This match seems an ideal opportunity to focus on the goals market, especially considering both teams’ need to secure the win. With the “both teams to score” market offering low odds, and even the combination of “both teams to score” with over 2.5 goals being less appealing, seeking odds for over 3.5 goals appears to be a quite worthwhile alternative at this stage.
