Adelaide United vs Western United: Australian Championship Match Prediction
Adelaide United and Western United will play in the fourth round of the Australian A-League. Both teams were among the outsiders last season. This time, the hosts started the season well, having earned four points in two matches, while the visitors managed to snag only two points, although they have already played three games. Which of the rivals will be able to prevail on November 9? The answer is in our forecast.

Last season, Western United failed to reach the playoffs, finishing in penultimate place in the league table. They only managed to overtake the hopeless Perth Glory. This year, the team is clearly set to perform more successfully. The hosts failed to fight for the trophy in the Australian Cup - already in the qualifying round, the Melbourne club lost to Newcastle Jets (1:4). The club began the regular A-League championship with two consecutive draws - John Aloisi men drew with Wellington Phoenix (1:1) and Western Sydney Wanderers (1:1). In the third round, United lost to Melbourne City (0:1) in an equal fight.

1.86Tip and bets
The hosts are rightly considered the favorites of this meeting, but the visitors also do not look so bad at the start of the season, although they had to meet stronger opponents. In the game in the first three rounds, Western United never looked worse than their opponents, and the lack of victories can be called a coincidence. We think that even away, the club from Melbourne will be able to impose a fight on Adelaide United.
Our prediction is Asian handicap (+1) on Western United for 1.70
Bet on total
Western United will play away, so they will probably play defensively. At the start of the season, John Aloisi team has not failed in defense and has not conceded more than one goal in any match. We believe that the team will cope with the Adelaide forwards, so do not expect a goal extravaganza here.
The second bet is total under 3.5 goals for 1.83
Bet on the first half
We don't expect the opponents to go forward in force immediately after the starting whistle. It will obviously take time to get to know each other. In this scenario, a draw at the end of the first half is likely.
Prediction - draw in the first half with odds of 2.70
