Betting tip and prediction for this match between Melbourne City vs Adelaide United

The best prediction for Melbourne City vs Adelaide United in the A-League is that Melbourne City will win or the match will end in a draw, nullifying the bet. Adelaide United is solely focused on securing the 3 points, despite the tough competition they face as visitors. Any result other than a win would significantly diminish their hopes of clinching 6th place. Consequently, Adelaide needs to take risks, which could create opportunities for Melbourne City to capitalise on their opponent’s mistakes. Nevertheless, the home side also requires a win to safeguard their 2nd position, irrespective of results elsewhere. Given their strong performance this season, as well as the advantage of playing at home against a team that must attack, Melbourne City is a likely victor.

Match preview: Melbourne City vs Adelaide United

Melbourne City and Adelaide United compete at Aami Park in a match for the 28th round of the A-League. The previous encounter between the two teams saw Adelaide United triumph at home with a score of (1-0) on 07-02-2025. History at this venue favours the home team, who have claimed 2 wins, 2 draws, and 1 loss from their last 5 meetings. The last time they clashed at Aami Park, on 25-01-2024, Melbourne City emerged victorious with a narrow (1-0) win thanks to a goal from Terry Antonis in the 5th minute. In this upcoming fixture, the home advantage could prove decisive, especially considering Adelaide United’s inconsistent results when playing away.

Team analysis: Melbourne City

Currently sitting 2nd in the league table, Melbourne City has achieved 13 wins, 5 draws, and 6 losses, gathering a total of 44 points. Their last match ended in a 2-2 draw against Western Sydney Wanderers, following a 3-2 victory at home over Brisbane Roar in their previous match. This team demonstrates consistency on the road, having recorded 6 wins, 6 draws, and 3 losses in their last 30 matches away from home, compared to an impressive 10 wins, 2 draws, and 3 losses at their own venue. In fact, Melbourne City has accumulated 22 points from 30 available in their last 10 home matches. Notably, the most frequent halftime score at home this season has been 1-0, occurring 6 times in 11 games. Their attack has been reliable, netting goals in 8 of their last 10 fixtures in the league. Additionally, their home matches tend to see fewer goals, with under 3 goals scored in 8 of their last 11 home encounters. Out of 24 league games, they have only recovered points in 1 of the 8 instances where they conceded first.

Melbourne City is enjoying a fantastic season, evidenced by their standing just 6 points off the league leaders. With a 3-point lead over Western United, they must strive to hold onto 2nd place. This upcoming match against Adelaide United will be crucial, as even with a potential win, if Western United also prevails in their match, it will all boil down to the final round. Melbourne City is fortunate to have two consecutive home games to conclude the regular phase, which gives them the opportunity to reach 50 points and solidify their position.

Team analysis: Adelaide United

Positioned 7th in the standings, Adelaide United has accumulated 10 wins, 7 draws, and 8 losses for a total of 37 points. In their last outing, they drew 1-1 against Brisbane Roar away, after recently securing a 3-2 victory at home against Wellington Phoenix. Interestingly, this squad has performed better away than at home, boasting 8 wins, 2 draws, and 5 losses in their last 30 matches as visitors, scoring and conceding 32 goals in the process. Conversely, their home form consists of 4 wins, 7 draws, and 4 losses, also scoring and conceding 29 goals. In their last 10 league matches, Adelaide United recorded 4 wins, 2 draws, and 4 losses, earning 14 points out of a possible 30.

Remarkably, they have failed to achieve a victory away from home in the last 6 matches. Their defence has been vulnerable, conceding goals in all of their last 10 matches, while their attack has been reasonably effective, hitting the net in 9 of those games. Notably, when playing as visitors, there is a tendency for high-scoring matches, as 10 of their last 12 outings in the competition featured more than 2.5 goals. Out of 25 matches this season, they have conceded the first goal on 14 occasions and have managed to turn the score around only 4 times.

Adelaide United is ambitiously vying for 6th place in the table with 37 points, sharing the same total as Sydney, although they have played one match more. This next fixture against Melbourne City holds immense importance, as they can only gain 3 additional points and depend on Sydney not to secure victories in their remaining two games. Facing Melbourne City will be particularly challenging, especially since Sydney has a tough match against Western United too.
