Match Preview
Adelaide United will host Wellington Phoenix at Coopers Stadium on Friday, 18 April, in a matchup that sees contrasting form lines. Adelaide has managed to secure just one win in their last five outings (LDDWL), while Wellington is struggling significantly, having lost all of their last five matches (WLLLL). Historically, Adelaide has dominated this fixture, winning six of the last ten encounters, which adds to their confidence as they look to bounce back from recent performances. One key angle to consider is the likelihood of both teams scoring. With eight of the last ten head-to-head meetings featuring both teams finding the net, and Adelaide's current ability to create chances despite their mixed form, backing both teams to score (BTTS Yes at 1.44) could be a prudent choice. Additionally, with over 2.5 goals in seven of those last ten matchups, the attacking potential of Adelaide, combined with Wellington's defensive frailties, suggests a high-scoring affair could be on the cards.
