The Sky Blues secured this year s premiers plate with a 2-1 victory over Victory last week, the Melbourne team s only defeat in their past nine matches.
Either side of that loss, Victory have scored 12 goals, putting six past Perth Glory and then scoring another six in their semi-final win over Brisbane last Sunday.
While that attacking form is ominous heading into the decider, Lowe says Sydney hold the edge from their encounter at Cromer Park nine days ago. We ll take the positives of what we did in that game in to this game, Lowe said. Obviously they ve got a great team. They ve got great players, a lot of attacking threats like Lisa De Vanna and some of their internationals.

The Sky Blues claimed a 2-1 win over third-placed Melbourne Victory in the final round on Wednesday at Cromer Park to collect the club s first W-League premiership in a decade.
It ends a strangely long drought for one of the competition heavyweights whose roster is usually littered with international players.
Sydney FC are now also two wins away from winning a fourth championship and equalling the mark set by Melbourne City.
The Sky Blues have consistently lined up with numerous international players in their squad, but this year has been markedly different with the vast majority of Matildas now plying their trade in Europe.

Entries open for 2021 Tombsy Cup fundraiser
The football community is set to come together for a worthy cause on Sydney’s Northern Beaches in support of this month’s Tombsy Cup.
Entries are open for all interested teams to take part in the seven-a-side tournament, which is set to take place at Cromer Park on Saturday 27th March.
While the event was unfortunately cancelled in 2020 due to COVID-19, the inaugural Cup in 2019 saw the community come together to raise over $100,000 for the Guns Out Spinal Foundation, which was started after Richard Tombs suffered a life-changing spinal injury in 2018.
