Sunday evening sees the conclusion of the 2020 A-League season, 10 and a half months after it kicked off on a Friday night in Adelaide.
It’s a “Light Blue Derby” between the defending champions and reigning premiers Sydney FC (in sky blue) and the side looking to shake off their history of falling short in Melbourne City (in City Blue, which is apparently different).
In terms of club success, it’s very much the haves taking on the have nots with Sydney looking for their fifth championship and City looking for their first.
Read on to see who we are tipping on Sunday evening.
It is unbelievably tough to split these two sides, Sydney have clearly been the best team over the course of the season and professionally dispatched an overmatched Perth side on Wednesday, but on the whole, their form since the restart has been patchy at best.
City on the other hand still have that old “Melbourne Heart DNA” you have to be scared of until the shake it off.
Since they resumed play, they have been the better performer of these two sides.
The market looks to have this game lined up perfectly and since it’s so hard to split these sides, the draw looks like the play for the 90 minutes result.
History also says this will be a low scoring contest with both sides desperate to avoid losing the game.
We’ll pair those two options in a Same Game Multi in a game that could very well go down to penalties.
