Match preview: Mel Victory vs Adelaide United
Mel Victory and Adelaide United are set to clash at Aami Park for the 24th round of the A-League. The last time they faced each other in this league edition, Adelaide United secured a 3-2 victory at home on 18-01-2025. Historically, the encounters at this venue favour the home team, with Mel Victory winning 2, drawing 2, and losing 1 of their last 5 confrontations here. Notably, in their last meeting at this ground during the FFA Cup on 21-09-2024, Melbourne Victory triumphed 1-0, thanks to a solitary goal by Jordi Valadon in the 88th minute. Furthermore, the home advantage could be crucial, as Adelaide United has displayed varying performances when playing at home versus away.
Team analysis: Mel Victory
Currently, the home side sits in 5th place with 33 points, having achieved 9 wins, 6 draws, and 6 losses. Their penultimate outing saw them triumph over Central Coast Mariners with a decisive 3-0 victory. However, they experienced a setback in their last match, losing 4-2 to the Western Sydney Wanderers. This team isn’t heavily influenced by playing on home turf, as their results are fairly consistent both home and away. In the last 30 matches, they recorded 6 wins, 3 draws, and 6 losses as visitors, scoring 25 goals and conceding 20, compared to their 8 wins, 5 draws, and 2 losses at home, with 24 goals scored and only 12 conceded. Their home record in their last 10 games shows 6 wins, 3 draws, and a single loss, accumulating 21 points from 30 available. Mel Victory’s attack has been regularly potent, managing to score in 9 of their last 10 matches in this competition. Out of 21 games, they found themselves conceding first 7 times but only turned the match around once.
The Melbourne Victory side continues to perform admirably this season. They are one of the stronger teams within the A-League and rightly deserve to be contesting a top-six finish, allowing them to reach the latter stages of the competition. Ahead of the 24th round, Melbourne Victory is positioned 5th with 33 points, sharing equal points with 6th placed Adelaide United, who they face this round. While their current form features 2 wins and 2 draws, they faced a recent defeat to Western Sydney Wanderers (4-2). The games involving Melbourne Victory have been high-scoring affairs, with their lowest score—a 1-0 victory against Wellington Phoenix—standing out. Now, they must tackle a capable side in Adelaide United, who are going through a rough patch, potentially allowing Melbourne Victory the opportunity to reclaim winning ways.
Team analysis: Adelaide United
With 9 wins, 6 draws, and 5 losses, the visitors now occupy 6th place, having also accumulated 33 points. They encountered a dramatic defeat in their last outing against MacArthur, losing 5-4 after previously drawing 1-1 against Brisbane Roar in their prior match. Interestingly, they have been more successful away from home, recording 9 wins, 2 draws, and 4 losses in their last 30 matches as visitors, compared to just 5 wins, 7 draws, and 3 losses at home. Adventuring through this league, Adelaide United secured 19 points from a possible 27 after achieving 6 victories, 1 draw, and 2 losses in their last 9 matches on the road. However, their defensive frailties have shown, conceding in 9 of their last 10 games, although their attack has remained impressively consistent, scoring in the same number of matches. Their away fixtures have also seen a trend toward high-scoring encounters, with 8 of the 9 resulting in more than 2.5 goals. Of the 20 matches played in this competition, they’ve managed to reverse the scorelines in 4 instances after conceding first.
Adelaide United is attempting to bounce back but has faced challenges in doing so. Once fighting for top positions, they now strive to maintain their presence in the top six. With 5 matches without a win, including 3 losses and 2 draws, they enter this match following a heartbreaking loss to MacArthur (5-4). While they still produce high-scoring games, which highlight their defensive weaknesses, they do possess the attacking capabilities to score against opponents. Coach C. Veart needs to address various issues within the squad, particularly in the defensive department, which could again pose a concern, especially against Melbourne Victory at their home ground.
