Western Sydney Wanderers vs Adelaide United Prediction
The visiting side gave up a one-goal lead on Wednesday to suffer a narrow loss and will be fired up to avenge their defeat here. The hosts are unbeaten in their last two home games but lost out to Western United and Melbourne City FC before those games.
The visiting side have a lengthy list of injuries and might struggle here. It is unlikely that either side will be able to keep a clean sheet and a low-scoring draw seems to be the likely outcome here.
Prediction: Western Sydney Wanderers 1-1 Adelaide United
