Western United vs Adelaide United Prediction and Betting Tips | February 11th 2023

Western United will entertain fourth-placed Adelaide United at the Melbourne Rectangular Stadium in the A-League on Saturday.

Adelaide United extended their unbeaten run to four games in the league last Saturday as they overcame Brisbane Roar 2-1 at home. Louis D'Arrigo opened the scoring in the 35th minute but Brisbane equalized just two minutes later via Joe Knowles. Nestory Irankunda, who came on as a substitute in the 78th minute, bagged the winning goal in the 82nd minute for Adelaide.

Western United vs Adelaide United Prediction

The hosts have picked up just one win in their last six league outings and might struggle here. While they have enjoyed a solid run at home in recent games, their last defeat at home this term came against Adelaide in November.

Western United have scored at least one goal in each of their eight games and should be able to find the back of the net with ease. Nonetheless, considering the form of the two teams, Adelaide should come out on top.

Prediction: Western United 1-2 Adelaide United
