Adelaide United Melbourne Victory betting prediction


Betting suggestion:

Both teams go into the game following very negative results in the last round and, interestingly, with the same point record in the standings. This means that both Verbeek and Kurz will have to come up with a strategy that aims to win all three points, because the "DNA" of both teams tends to be offensive. In this sense, a well-contested match is foreseen, where both teams will have good scoring opportunities in a game that is likely to have uncertainty looming until the end.

Preview
Adelaide United and Melbourne Victory face at Coopers Stadium, in a match for the 15th round of the A‑League. In the last league head‑to‑head, played in 23‑11‑2019, Adelaide United got a home win by (3‑1). At this stadium, the head‑to‑head history favours the home team, since they have a record of 3 wins, 1 draw and 2 losses in the last 6 matches. Sure enough, the last time these teams met at this stadium, on 23‑11‑2019, in a match for the A‑League, Adelaide United won by (3‑1). The goals of the match were scored by R. McGree (23' and 68' ) and M. Basha (63' Autogolo), for Adelaide United, and by O. Toivonen (61' ), for Melbourne Victory. In this match the home advantage may play an important role, since Melbourne Victory presents significant differences between home and away performances.

Analysis Adelaide Utd

The home team is currently in the 7th position of the league, with 15 points won, after 5 wins and 7 losses. In the penultimate match, they lost in an away match against Sydney, by (2‑1). In the last match, they lost in an away match against Perth Glory, by (3‑0). This is a team that usually maintains its competitive levels in home and away matches, since in the last 30 matches they register 7 wins, 3 draws and 5 losses in away matches; against 10 wins, 1 draw and 4 losses at their stadium. For the league, Adelaide United won 9 points out of 18 possible points, after 3 wins and 3 losses in the last 6 home matches.

In this competition, they have a sequence of 4 losses in the last matches. They haven't been very strong defensively, since they have suffered goals in 9 of the last 10 matches, but their offense has scored frequently, since they have scored goals in 9 of the last 10 matches for this competition. They have conceded the first goal in 8 of their 12 matches for this competition, and have only turned the score around in 2.

Remaining the only team to have yet to draw a match in this seaso's championship, Adelaide United comes to this matchday 15 with the same points of its next opponent and just in the first place below those that guarantee access to the play-off . The timing of this match is rather bad, with four consecutive defeats, the last of which was a 3-0 in the visit to Perth Glory, a result that deserved harsh criticism from coach Gert Jan Verbeek. Despite the supremacy in the offensive chapter (not including the finishing of course), Adelaide United made serious defensive errors that led to three goals, two of them in the first half, which made it difficult for the team in the second half where it always ran to make up for the loss, eventually suffering the third.

Confirmed Lineup: Paul Izzo, Michael Jakobsen, Jordan Elsey, Michaël Maria, Riley McGree, Louis Harris, Ben Halloran, Ryan Strain, Kristian Opseth, Nikola Mileusnić, George Blackwood.

Analysis Mel Victory

The away team is currently in the 5th position of the league, with 18 points won, after 4 wins, 3 draws and 6 losses. In the penultimate match, they won in a home match against Newcastle Jets, by (4‑0). In the last match, they lost in an away match against Central Coast Mariners, by (3‑2). This is a team that usually makes good use of the home advantage, stronger with the help of its supporters, since in the last 30 matches they register 5 wins and 10 losses in away matches, with 19 goals scored and 32 conceded; against 7 wins, 5 draws and 3 losses at their stadium, with 28 goals scored and 16 conceded. In the last 6 away league matches Melbourne Victory has a record of 2 wins and 4 losses, so they have won 6 points out of 18 possible. Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded goals in 7 of the last 10 matches, but their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored goals in 9 of the last 10 matches for this competition. In the last 7 away matches for all competitions there is 1 period that stands out: they have scored 3 of their 8 goals between minutes (0'‑15').

With a generally median but inconsistent course, the Melbourne Victory team follows with the same 15 points from Adelaide United and just one more than the Western Sydney Wanderers. Still, Marco Kurz's team comes to this 15th round of the championship in a qualifying position for the final series play-offs. After a streak of three unbeaten game, where they won even when visiting Melbourne City (2-1) and hosting Newcastle Jets (4-0), Melbourne Victory reacted with a painful 3-2 defeat in the last round, while visiting the Central Coast Mariners. It will be difficult to react anemically to the fact that they had taken advantage of the second-half overtime (thanks to the goals scored by Kristijan Dobras and Kye Rowles) and missed not two but all the points in contention, with two goals conceded in penalties at 90+4' and 90+10'.

Confirmed Lineup: Lawrence Thomas, Adama Traoré, Storm Roux, James Donachie, Elvis Kamsoba, Jay Barnett, Migjen Basha, Leigh Broxham, Robbie Kruse, Andrew Nabbout.
Coach: J. Poulsen.
