Sydney came up against Melbourne Victory on Saturday and the encounter ended in a 1:0 home triumph. Before the last encounter, the club was going through an unfortunate streak of two games, without a victory, registering 1 defeat and 1 draw. Playing at home turned out to be of little help across the ten previous Sydney games as the hosting party recorded 4 victories and the travelling sides registered 4 triumphs. No more than two of the previous 10 meetings of the squad concluded in draws. Looking at the team’s previous five encounters, it becomes apparent that two featured over 2.5 goals and three saw both involved sides to score. Throughout these, Sydney’s efforts paid off as the team managed to prevent goals in their net two times and scored a minimum of one goal in the process. During the team’s recent five outings, the goalkeepers had to pull the ball out of the nets 14 times altogether.
