Adelaide United vs Melbourne City: forecast for the Australian Championship match
Adelaide United and Melbourne City will play in the 18th round of the Australian A-League. The hosts are competing for the first place in the table, while the guests remain outside the playoff zone. Which of the competitors will perform better on February 7th? The answer is in our forecast for this match.
Command Analysis
Adelaide United
AustraliaCurrent form
Adelaide United is showing amazing results this season. The club finished the last regular season draw only in eighth place, and now the hosts are claiming the first place. So far, the hosts occupy the second position, but they are only five points behind the leading Oakland, with a match in reserve. On January 22, the leaders of the championship held a face-to-face match, which ended in a draw with a score of 2:2. The rivals exchanged goals already in stoppage time. The last match was not so favorable for United - on the road, Karl Wirth's team suffered a major defeat from Sydney FC (1-4), losing for the first time in five rounds.
Disqualifications and injuries
Bailey O'Neill remains with the owners in the infirmary. The appearance of Luke Duzel, Jordan Elsey, Ben Folami and Maxime Vartuli is questionable.
Interesting betting trends
- At home, the team suffered only one defeat in nine matches.
- In the last 14 matches, the hosts have never left the field without scoring a goal.
Approximate composition: Delianov - Pierias, Vrinds, Kikianis, Kitto - Sanchez Cortez, Alagic - Klaf, Mauk, Ayubi - Godwin
Melbourne City FC
AustraliaCurrent form
Melbourne City has been playing great football this season, but in the last two rounds they unexpectedly suffered dry defeats. The team first lost away to the leader of the current championship, Auckland New Zealand (0:1), and then suffered a major defeat from the more modest MacArthur (0:3). Before that, the club was one of the top three, but now it has completely dropped out of the playoff zone, dropping to seventh place. Nevertheless, Aurelio Vidmar's players are only behind Sydney FC and MacArthur in additional indicators, so the whole fight for a place in the top 6 is still ahead. However, it will not be easy to score points in the next match, because you will have to play against the second team in the league.
Disqualifications and injuries
A number of football players will miss the match as part of the guests. Max Caputo, Jonathan Cohen, Andreas Kuhn, Alessandro Lopane, Andrew Nabbut, Jayden Nekowski and Marco Tilio remain in the infirmary. James Jeggo's entry into the field is questionable.
Interesting betting trends
- The team has never won in the last four away matches.
- None of the last five matches of the guests ended in a draw.
Approximate composition: Beach - Talbot, Trewin, Supryan, Behich - Ugarkovich, Schreiber - Atkinson, Wong, Politidis - Memeti
Trends
The bet is an accurate score of 2:1
The hosts have won two of the last three victories with this score.
9.00Bet Both will score
This bet has played in the last seven matches of the hosts
1.52The bid is the number 2 in the final bill
This pattern has worked in five of the last six matches of the hosts.
2.10Tip and bets
The hosts are having a great season and have a great chance of making the playoffs. So far, the team is in second place, but it is impossible to relax, since the density in the table is high. Melbourne City plays well on their own field, but the club does not achieve success so often on the road. The Melbourne club has lost its last two away matches, so Adelaide United has a great chance of winning. We believe that the support of the stands will help the hosts to win.
Our prediction is a 1.93 win for Adelaide United
Bet on the total
The rivals are competing for a place in the playoff zone, so they will surely take this match seriously. We don't think anyone will make defensive mistakes, so we shouldn't count on a scoring extravaganza. We suggest betting on a total of less.
Our forecast is a total of less than 3.5 goals per 1.60
Betting on corners
Most likely, the opponents will play defensively, which means that a lot of serves from the corner flag are not expected. We suggest betting on a total of less in this indicator.
Our forecast is a total of less than 10.5 corners in 1.70
