The visitors are not even in the playoff zone yet and occupy the seventh position in the league. Which of the opponents will be able to score tournament points on December 20? The answer is in our forecast.

Command Analysis

Adelaide United

Current form
Adelaide United failed to make the playoffs last season, but they have a great chance this time. The team currently ranks second in the league standings, behind only the league newcomer, New Zealand Auckland. The team has not suffered a single defeat this season, but has drawn twice. They have scored 17 goals in seven rounds, which puts Adelaide first in the league. United played away in the last rounds, but still managed to win dry victories over Newcastle Jets (1:0) and Central Coast Mariners (4:0).
Disqualifications and injuries
Ethan Cox and Bailey O'Neill are both out with injuries, with Jordan Elsey a doubt.
Interesting trends for betting
- The team has not lost a single game this season.
- The hosts haven't conceded a single goal in the last two matches.
Probable lineup: Delianov - Pierias, Vriends, Kikianis, Kitto - Sanchez Cortes, Alagic - Clough, Mauk, Ayubi - Godwin

Sydney FC

Current form
Sydney performed quite successfully last season and took fourth place in the regular season. In the first round of the playoffs, the team easily beat Macarthur (4:0), but already at the semi-final stage lost to the future trophy holder, Central Coast Mariners (1:2 and 0:0). The current season, the club from Sydney started quite well, but due to defeats in the last two rounds from Central Coast Mariners (1:2) and Western United (3:4), dropped to seventh place and found itself outside the playoff zone.
Disqualifications and injuries
Joseph Lacy appearance on the field is questionable.
Interesting trends for betting
- The team has not played a draw yet this season.
- The club suffered two defeats in a row
Probable line-up: Redmayne - Grant, Matthews, Popovic, Courtney-Peppen - Caceres, Leo Sena - Lolley, Hollman, Douglas Costa - Klimala.

The hosts have been playing very well this season and are determined to stay in the top three. However, the visitors have failed in their last two matches, losing even to one of the main outsiders of last season, Western United. Sydney is not in the best mood for the trip to Adelaide and is unlikely to win. We will bet on United in this match.
Our prediction is Asian handicap (0) on Adelaide United for 1.70
Bet on total
The hosts are doing well in attack. In the last round, the Adelaide club managed to score four unanswered goals against the current champion.

We should expect a productive match.
Our prediction is total over three goals for 1.55
Bet on corners
In this match, we expect Adelaide United to have superiority not only in terms of the score, but also in various other parameters, including the number of corners taken.
