We keep expecting Adelaide to turn things around but they’ve still been unable to kick-start their campaign.

Amor looked shattered after his side threw away two points in the final seconds against the Jets in what was an incredible finish to a pulsating game.

The reds boss will be fuming at his side for allowing themselves to be so open at the back with only minutes to play which saw the Jets create no less than three clear cut chances, including the eventual Jets winner.

The problem this year for Adelaide (and other teams) is they’ve lacked quality in front of goal while conceding too many soft goals. Add to that injuries and a lack of confidence and this side is in a real rut at the moment.

In stark contrast, Sydney FC put four past the Glory, in a typical clinical display.

Everything is going right for Sydney so far in the A-League and with coach Graham Arnold signing a new two-year deal with the Sky Blues, it seems the good times are set to continue.

Arnold has brought stability to Sydney and this season he has built one of the strongest squads in the league with plenty of depth which has provided the perfect platform for their charge to the title.

KEY BATTLE: Isaias v Milos Ninkovic

Two of the A-League’s foreigners who has shone in recent seasons and who control their respective midfields albeit in different roles.

Isaias has the huge task of bringing stability to the reds in their time of crisis while Ninkovic (pictured above) is enjoying the fruits of success in his attacking role for Sydney.

Ninkovic will again be the star and come out on top against the wounded reds.

The Verdict

Sydney will dominate proceeding and will be too strong for Adelaide.
