Melbourne City vs Adelaide United Preview & Prediction

Big game for Melbourne City as last season’s Grand Finalists come up against bogey side Adelaide United at AAMI Park on Thursday night.

City haven’t defeated Adelaide since the 2021 season and have lost the last two meetings by thumping 6-0 and 4-2 scores.

City are also on a two-game losing run heading into this contest, suffering a 1-0 defeat to the Wanderers and 2-1 loss to the Mariners on the road.

Those two defeats see City languishing outside the top six in eighth spot on the ladder heading into this encounter, locked on 18 points with their opponents here.

Adelaide returned to the winners circle last week when they upset Sydney FC on the road in Unite Round, but they had a week off in Round 13 as their game against last-placed Western United is postponed.

The Reds are unbeaten in their last three games, but they need to improve their form on the road if they are to be serious challengers this season. Adelaide have lost their last three away games, failing to score in their last two.

VERDICT:

Tough to pick a winner here. City haven’t beaten Adelaide in three years, while the Reds aren’t too flash on the road – though they have destroyed City in their previous two meetings. A draw looks good value in the H2H market.

We’re also going to back Under 3.5 total goals for our best bet. It’s been goals galore in the last two meetings between these teams, so I’m expecting City to tighten up at the back. City have seen Under 3.5 goals in four of their last five games, while Adelaide have failed to score in their last two away games (Best Under 3.5 goals odds $1.90 with bet365.)
