The hosts are winless against the Reds in their last five meetings. They have suffered just one defeat at home in the league this season and will be looking to avoid defeat.
Adelaide suffered their first defeat in the league since January last time around and will look to return to winning ways. They have secured a place in the final series and with the top spot in the league table out of reach, they do not have much to play for in this game.
Nonetheless, considering their recent record against the hosts, they are expected to take home at least a point from the game.
