Command Analysis

Adelaide United

Current form
Adelaide United has been in the playoff zone for a long time, but recently the club's results have deteriorated significantly, so the hosts have been left out of the top 6. In the last four rounds, Karl Wirth's team only lost, and each time they conceded a huge number of goals. During this time, the team from Adelaide lost to MacArthur (4:5), Melbourne Victory (3:5), Sydney (2:3) and Perth Glory (1:4). With such a defense, United will definitely not get into the playoffs, we urgently need to change something.
Disqualifications and injuries
Panache Madanya and Bailey O'Neal will miss the upcoming match.
Interesting betting trends
- The team hasn't won eight matches in a row.
- In the last six rounds, the hosts have not left the field without scoring a goal.
Approximate composition: Vartouli - Lopez, Kikianis, Elsi, Pierias - Mauk, Alagic, Klaf - Folami, Godwin, Yull

Wellington Phoenix

Current form
The guests have failed to meet expectations this season. A regular participant in the playoffs has turned into one of the outsiders. The team currently ranks 11th out of 13 in the A-League standings and is ten points behind the playoff zone. There are three matches left until the end of the championship, so it's already obvious that the season is over for the New Zealand club. The year 2025 is still turning out to be a failure for Phoenix. The Wellington team managed to score only two wins in 14 matches. The last of them was in the penultimate round, when we managed to beat the Newcastle Jets on the road (2:1). After that, Giancarlo Italiano's team lost to Melbourne Victory (2:3).
Disqualifications and injuries
Stefan Kolakowski, Francisco Geraldes and Albie Kelly-Heald will not play in the upcoming match.
Interesting betting trends
- The team has won only one of the last ten matches.
- The visitors scored two goals in each of the last three matches.
Approximate line-up: Oluwayemi - Hughes. Wootton, Piper-Sutton, Sheridan, Rufer, Payne- Nagasawa, Barbarouses, Ishige

2.15Tip and bets
The hosts need to win the upcoming match in order to maintain their playoff chances, but they faced the same task in the previous four matches, and then it didn't help the Adelaide United players. The hosts are in terrible shape right now, it's hard to expect a confident victory from a team that is going through a series of defeats. The visitors have imposed a fight on any opponent in recent matches, and for sure it will not be easy for the club from Adelaide in the confrontation with Wellington.
Our betting tip is an Asian handicap (+1) for Wellington Phoenix at 1.90

Both teams have huge defensive problems that are unlikely to be resolved in a head-to-head match. Most likely, the opponents will once again try to bet on the offensive game, besides, the hosts only need a victory. We think that we will have another productive match.
Our betting tip is a total of more than 3.5 goals in 1.90
Betting on corners
