Adelaide United vs Melbourne City Preview & Prediction

You wouldn’t want to play Adelaide United in their current form. They have won their previous six league matches, with five of those being at Hindmarsh. Most recently, they found a way past the Mariners in the elimination final. 18-year-old Bernardo Oliveira sealed the win with a stoppage-time goal.

Not only do they enter the first leg of the semi-final in fantastic form, but they also have a strong recent record against the reigning premiers. Carl Veart’s outfit is also undefeated in seven of the last eight meetings and are one of the only teams not to lose to Patrick Kisnorbo’s side this season.

Similarly, Melbourne City was also put to the test and was pushed to the final day of the season to claim another premier’s plate for the trophy cabinet ahead of rivals Melbourne Victory and Western United.

They had to respond after a shock loss to the bottom of the ladder Perth Glory and they did exactly that, scoring both of their goals against Wellington from set-pieces and could consider themselves unlucky not to win by more based on the number of chances they created.

Verdict:

Although Melbourne City heads into the match as the heavy favourites despite being on the road in the first leg, it’s hard to ignore the recent history between the two sides. So, therefore, we’ll back a scintillating draw on Wednesday night.

Both teams have scored in six of the last seven meetings (Best BTTS – Yes odds: $1.62 with TAB).
