Western United vs Adelaide Prediction
Western United have had a poor start to the season and have lost their last three games on the bounce. They failed to find the back of the net in all three defeats and their struggles in front of goal have to be fixed if they are to have any hopes of making the playoffs.
However, it's still early days in the season and the hosts still have enough time to turn things around. Adelaide United were embarrassed in front of their fans last time out and will be itching to get back to winning ways. The visitors have won on each of their last two visits to this stadium and will fancy their chances of doing the three-peat.
We are backing the two sides to cancel each other out in a low-scoring stalemate.
