However, regardless of opening up the 2025/26 marketing campaign with a worrying 2-1 loss away at Adelaide on October seventeenth, Ufuk Talay’s males have come roaring again in a stellar style. Final seen heading into November’s worldwide break with a routine 2-0 victory at dwelling in opposition to Macarthur, Sydney sit simply one-point adrift of climbing to the highest of the desk. Getting November underway with a season-best show as they cruised their method to an empathic 4-1 romp in opposition to Newcastle, the Sky Blues have now gained all of their earlier three consecutive A-League appearances by an combination rating of 8-1.

Coming beneath actual scrutiny final month as they slumped to a 5-2 drumming in opposition to Newcastle, the Boys in Blue have additionally proven some actual inconsistencies at each ends of the pitch. Final seen heading into November’s worldwide break with a routine 2-0 defeat at dwelling in opposition to their arch-rivals, Diles’ camp must also be involved by their most up-to-date journey to Sydney. Falling to a 3-0 loss after they final travelled to the Allianz Stadium again in December 2024, we predict an identical final result.
