After an extremely unsuccessful start, the visitors managed to recover and are now considered a difficult opponent for any A-League club. Now the team is only one point away from the playoff zone, so Western Sydney Wanderers will definitely be in good shape for the match with one of the championship leaders. The hosts are also playing well, but they have drawn four of their five home matches. Perhaps Adelaide United will drop points this time too.
