"Getting November underway with a season-best display as they cruised their way to an empathic 4-1 romp against Newcastle, the Sky Blues have now won all of their previous three consecutive A-League appearances by an aggregate score of 8-1. Finding a clinical edge in the final third prior to the fortnight interval, Talay's side will be confident of making another statement here."
"As for the visitors, suffering major grand final heartbreak over the summer as they eventually fell to a 1-0 loss at the hands of bitter local foes Melbourne City, the Victory have shown some real signs of a hangover since opening up the new campaign. Claiming just a single A-League victory from any of their first four attempts, Arthur Diles' men have the feel of a squad who are searching for a much-welcomed morale boost."
Sydney FC endured a rut last season, finishing in the A-League bottom half. Sydney opened the 2025/26 campaign with a 2-1 loss away at Adelaide on October 17 but then recovered strongly. The Sky Blues won three straight league matches, including a 4-1 win over Newcastle and a 2-0 victory against Macarthur, scoring eight and conceding one across that run and sitting one point shy of the top of the table. Melbourne Victory suffered grand final heartbreak over the summer, losing 1-0 to Melbourne City, and have managed only one win from four league games. The Victory have shown defensive frailties and inconsistency, including a heavy loss to Newcastle and a 2-0 defeat to City.
