My prediction for Melbourne Victory vs Adelaide United

Alright guys, let’s talk Melbourne Victory vs Adelaide United this weekend. It’s one of the biggest matchups in the Australia A-League, and I’m feeling pretty hyped for this one.

Both teams are sitting on the same points in the Australia A-League table (33 each), but Melbourne Victory has played one more game than Adelaide United. That makes this game a serious decider in terms of standings.

Let’s get to the facts.
  • Melbourne Victory standings took a hit before the break, losing 4-2 to Western Sydney Wanderers. That loss snapped their unbeaten run, but their home form is still rock-solid. They’ve only lost once at AAMI Park all season and usually score two or more goals at home.
  • Meanwhile, Adelaide United is struggling big time. They haven’t won in their last five matches and just got out of a crazy 5-4 loss to Macarthur. Like, seriously, they just can’t defend to save their lives. Conceding three or more goals in their last three away games is just a disaster. 😆
Looking at their previous clashes, Melbourne Victory vs Melbourne City FC stats show that Victory tends to show up at home. Plus, they recently smashed Central Coast Mariners 3-0 and beat Wellington Phoenix 1-0. Meanwhile, Adelaide’s away record is a dumpster fire, plain and simple.

If we break it down by numbers:
  • Melbourne Victory games have hit over 2.5 goals in 4 of their last 6 matches.
  • Adelaide United games have done the same in 8 of their last 10.
  • Both teams are leaking goals, but Melbourne Victory scores more consistently, especially at home.
So, what’s my prediction?
I’m calling it Over 2.5 goals for sure. These teams can’t defend, and they’re both pretty solid on the attack. Plus, I think Melbourne Victory edges this one. They’ve been a beast at home, and Adelaide United’s current form is just begging for another beatdown.

If I had to bet, I'd say Melbourne Victory wins something like 3-1 or 3-2. The Australia Premier League standings could look a lot different after this one.

What do you all think? Anyone feeling brave enough to back Adelaide United to pull off a surprise win?
