Western United vs Adelaide United tips and predictions

Western United to hold off Adelaide United

It looks like this will be an intriguing match with both sides having their moments. Plenty of people are making noises about Adelaide United but the pick here is for a home masterclass.

Western United have shown what they're capable of leading up to this clash. The hosts have reached 3 home wins from their last 5 games. With less success than expected the visitors have been defeated in 7 of their last 11 matches, away and at home. Obviously they've had different opposition but that doesn't stand out as the record of a team that will fancy their chances.

This home squad is playing some good football and they have looked hungry. Western United have scored two or more goals in 9 of their recent 17 matches and that's been compounded at the back where they have kept a clean sheet in 2 of their last 5 home games. Looking into that recent performance data makes a solid case for the hosts.

On occasions Adelaide United haven't had the required tools to resist pressure. They have conceded two or more goals in 8 of their last 10 matches.

Most observers believe that neither side will keep a clean sheet during this match as they could be well matched. Whatever happens, with the odds-against price on BTTS No, that looks like a good way to extract some value for this particular encounter.
