Preview:
Adelaide are stumbling at the wrong time, following up a horrific 5-2 loss to Wanderers with a 2-1 defeat at the hands of the struggling Victory. The Reds will be relieved to return home, where they have won their last three.
Basing their game on gritty defence for much of their debut campaign, Western United broke the shackles – and ended a four-match winless run – with a 6-2 mauling of the Mariners last weekend. Max Burgess bagged a first-half hat-trick, while Besart Berisha’s brace started and finished the scoring. But they have failed to bank a win in their last four away games.
Adelaide prevailed 4-3 in an Australia Day thriller against Western United, the clubs’ only encounter to date. Nikola Mileusnic and Besart Berisha scored first-half doubles, before Nathan Konstandopoulos found the 79th-minute winner for the Reds.
Home-ground advantage is set to prove the decisive factor in this one as Adelaide strive to regain some form. Western United have not been consistent enough to get behind in any major way.
