Command Analysis

Adelaide United

Current form
After an unsuccessful last season, Adelaide United has changed a lot and is now fighting for the first place in the championship. So far, the team is in second place in the standings, but only two points behind the league leader, New Zealand's Auckland. 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. After that, Karl Wirth's team suffered a major away defeat against Sydney FC (1-4), but managed to rehabilitate themselves by beating Melbourne City (1-0) in their last home match.
Disqualifications and injuries
Bailey O'Neill remains with the owners in the infirmary. Luka Jovanovic, Panagiotis Kikianis, Fabian Talladira and Johnny Juhl went to the national team. The appearance of James Delianoff, Jordan Elsey, Javi Lopez, Panache Madanyi and Maxime Vartuli is questionable.
Interesting betting trends
- The team has lost only one of the last six matches.
- The hosts have scored in each of the last 16 matches
Approximate composition: Cox - Pierias, Vrinds, Sanchez Cortez, Kitto-Barnett, Alagic - Klaf, Mauk, Ayubi-Godwin

Newcastle Jets

Current form
Last season, the Newcastle Jets finished the regular season only in tenth place, having failed to compete for a place in the playoffs. It didn't get any better in the new championship draw, the team even dropped to 11th place, where it is at the moment. Only Perth Glory and Brisbane Roar are below. The club is four points behind the tenth Wellington, and the playoff zone is already 10 points away. It is clear that it is unlikely to succeed in competing for the top 6. In the last round, the visitors managed to score a big victory over Melbourne Victory (3:0). This victory was only the second for the team in 2025.
Disqualifications and injuries
Oscar Frier, Dale Ingham and Aleksandar Susnyar are missing due to injuries.
Interesting betting trends
- The team has won only one of the last five matches.
- The visitors scored in each of the last nine matches.
Approximate composition: Scott - Wilmering, Grozos, Natta, Bayliss - Taylor, Rose, Mombwa, Aquilinha - Wellisol, Timmins.

This pattern has worked in the last three matches between the teams.
1.94Tip and bets
The hosts consistently show a high level of play throughout the season and have excellent chances to reach the top spot at the end of the regular season. The guests have much less motivation, because it is unlikely that they will be able to compete for the playoff zone, and the team from Newcastle is inferior to the opponent in terms of composition. We believe that Adelaide United will win another victory.
Our forecast is an Asian handicap (-1) for Adelaide United in 1.75
Bet on the total
The last two matches between the teams ended with the same score 1:0, so the opponents are not used to pamper the audience with high performance. Most likely, the clubs will play pragmatically this time and will not reach the high bar of four goals scored.
Our forecast is a total of less than 3.5 goals in 1.97
Betting on corners
Most likely, the hosts will immediately seize the initiative in this match and will press on the opponent's goal for the entire 90 minutes. With such a game, the favorite is sure to win in almost all the main indicators, including the number of corners taken.
Our forecast is an Asian head start (-3.5) on corners for Adelaide United in 1.82
