Adelaide United vs Melbourne City Prediction and Betting Tips | October 29th 2023

Adelaide United and Melbourne City will battle for three points in an Australian A-League matchday two clash on Sunday.

The home side are coming into the game on the back of a comfortable 3-0 home win over Central Coast Mariners in their season-opener last weekend. Ben Halloran, Zach Clough and Nick Ansell all found the back of the net to inspire their side to victory.

Melbourne City, meanwhile, saw off Buriram with a 2-0 away win in the AFC Champions League in midweek. Mrin Jakolis provided first-half assists to Alessandro Lopane and Jamie Maclaren to help their side leave Thailand with all three points.

They will turn their attention to the domestic scene where their regular season title defense got off to a poor start in a 2-1 defeat at home to Western United.

The defeat left them in 10th spot on zero points while Adelaide United are second on three points.

Adelaide United vs Melbourne City Prediction

Melbourne City are three-time defending Premiers of the A-League and narrowly lost out in the semifinal of the Australian Cup in September. They will be keen to register their first win of the campaign but might be plagued by fatigue, having traveled to Thailand in midweek.

Adelaide United could capitalize on this and they also have a good recent record against their visitors, having not lost to them in regulation time since 2021.

We are backing the two sides to cancel each other out in a high-scoring stalemate.

Prediction: Adelaide United 2-2 Melbourne City
