Sturt Lions vs Adelaide U21 tips and predictions

Won't be easy for Adelaide U21

Adelaide U21 could be a surprise package here but it would be some shock. They are genuine outsiders so this isn't a confident prediction.

The hosts have not always excelled in some of their underpowered displays. Sturt Lions have been up and down. They've lost 3 of their last 5 matches. To compound their issues, goals seem to be in short supply for them. They've scored one or less goals in all of their last 3 games. Depending on the nature of the line-up they face at kick-off, this stat might make the difference on the day. They conceded three or more goals in 4 of their last 7 games which is a stat that will give supporters of the visiting side some confidence.

If the away side has a bit of good fortune they might just do this. Adelaide U21 have actually won 2 of their last 3 matches. Most of their wins have been helped by how clinical they've been in front of goal. They've scored two or more goals in 8 of their last 9 games and to have any chance of success they'll need to add to that run.

It could be a case of any port in a storm and the visitors will feel they've exceeded expectations if they end up in deadlock. It's felt that neither side will keep a clean sheet during this match despite the favouritism for Sturt Lions. It isn't a strong view but the BTTS No looks a bit more tempting for this encounter.
