Sydney FC vs Sanfrecce Hiroshima Preview

Sydney FC have never beaten a Japanese side in the AFC Champions League in 15 previous attempts. That is unlikely to change against Hiroshima, who have won three from three this campaign.

Head To Head

Hiroshima prevailed 2-1 at home last week in a relatively comfortable victory, with Sydney getting a late consolation goal in the 90th minute

Sydney FC Form

The fixtures keep coming thick and fast for Sydney FC, but at least they're playing at home for the first time in four games.

Sydney began the A-League season with a 2-1 win over the Wanderers in the derby, but were unable to back it up.

They went down 2-1 to Hiroshima in Japan before conceding late in a 1-0 defeat to new boys Auckland.

Heading straight to Queensland, Sydney managed to outlast Brisbane Roar in a 3-2 thriller last week, with Jayden Kucharski scoring a screamer to secure all three points in stoppage time.

The Sky Blues have won their other two AFC Champions League 2 games, easing past Eastern AA 5-0 and Kaya 4-1.

Sanfrecce Hiroshima Form

It's been a great season for Hiroshima, with the Japanese giants still in contention for the J-League title with just a few games remaining.

Hiroshima are second on the ladder, two points behind leaders Kobe after going unbeaten in 29 of their 35 league fixtures.

Hiroshima are also a perfect three wins from three in the AFC Champions League 2 and can secure their qualification into the next phase if they can repeat their win over Sydney from last week.

Verdict

Sydney FC v Sanfrecce Hiroshima

Sydney may have home ground advantage this time around, but they are still a class below Hiroshima - and if Costa and Lolley are still sidelined, it will make things even more difficult.

Backing Hiroshima in the double chance market and they are good value for the win outright too.
