Sore Head: Graham Arnold has seen too many Sky Blues' games go Over 2.5 Goals

"Going back to early last season, Graham Arnold's Sydney FC have seen 11/17 away games go Over 2.5 Goals"

Back Over 2.5 Goals @ 1.784/5 in Melbourne City v Sydney

Tobias Gourlay expects the Sky Blues to blow the goal count sky high in Melbourne tomorrow morning

As we hit the big red button marked 'Publish', the last of last year's betting slips is still alive and so, just about, are we.

Our new year begins in Australia, where last night's celebrations are already distant memories. This season all of third-placed Melbourne City's first five A-League home games have produced at least three match goals. John van't Schip's men have shipped goals in all five, while scoring at least twice in 4/5.

Going back to early last season, Graham Arnold's Sydney FC - currently fourth in this year's table - have seen 11/17 away games go Over 2.5 Goals.

Over a longer period, five of the pair's last seven meetings at the functionally named Melbourne Rectangular Stadium have gone Over 2.5 Goals and we fancy their first meeting of 2016 to go the same way.
