With 19 games to turn their fortunes around, online bookmaker sportsbet has opened a market on how many wins new Sydney FC manager Frank Farina will tally.

Under 7.5 wins from those 19 matches is the $1.55 favourite, with over 7.5 wins the $2.40 outsider.

Sydney FC are the $2.25 favourites for Sunday’s home clash – Farina’s first in charge – against the Melbourne Heart ($3.00).

“When a coach quits or is sacked, a lot of teams come out and win their next game and many punters are aware of that but since it was announced yesterday that Frank Farina was in, money has been coming in at the same rate for both teams,” said sportsbet.com.au’s Ben Hawes.
