Melbourne City FC

Current form
Melbourne City is in second place, which gives them a place in the semi-finals of the playoffs. Two rounds before the end of the regular season, the hosts are two points ahead of their neighbors, Melbourne Victory, while the City played one less match. A victory over Adelaide United can secure the second place for the hosts, so motivation is at the highest level. In the last round, the townspeople drew with Western Sydney Wanderers (2-2), ending a streak of three consecutive wins.

Jaggo, Leckie, Nabbout, Nekowski, Nevenhuizen and Suprayen will miss the match due to injury.

Adelaide United

Current form
Adelaide United failed in the final stretch of the season and was left out of the playoff zone. Only an away victory over Melbourne City and a misfire of competitors will help to return to the top 6, which is unlikely. Not so long ago, the team from Adelaide suffered four defeats in a row. This series was interrupted only on April 18. On that day, the guests beat the 11th team of the championship, Wellington Phoenix, with great difficulty (3:2). In the last round, United lost points again, achieving only a draw against the penultimate team of the championship, Brisbane Roar (1-1).
Disqualifications and injuries
Panache Madanya and Bailey O'Neill will miss the match due to injuries.
Interesting betting trends
- The team has won only one of the last ten matches.
- In the last six away matches, the guests have not won a single victory.

2.12Tip and bets
In this confrontation, the hosts look preferable. Unfortunately, the visitors have already missed their chance at the playoffs, having drawn with Brisbane Roar. The team from Adelaide failed to beat the penultimate team in the league, so it's hardly worth counting on anything away from one of the leaders. Most likely, there will be no surprises here, and Melbourne City will surely take three points.
Our betting tip is for Melbourne City to win in 1.70
Bet on the total
The main problem of the guests is the defensive game. The team from Adelaide misses both outsiders and leaders with unenviable regularity. No matter how well United play offensively, all their efforts are negated by mistakes at their own goal. The hosts will definitely take advantage of the opponent's weakness, so we should expect a lot of goals scored.
Our betting tip is a total of more than 3.5 goals in 2.05
Betting on corners
Most likely, both opponents will actively create chances at the other's goal, which will lead to a large number of corner kicks. We suggest betting on a total of more corners.
Our betting tip is a total of more than 10.5 corners in 1.90
