Adelaide United and Auckland FC will face off in the second leg of their A-League Playoff semi-final tie at Coppers Stadium on Friday. All three games between the Reds and the Black Knights this season ended with both teams scoring, and we’re going for the same outcome here as our match prediction.
The tie is locked level at 1-1. Lachlan Brook gave Auckland the lead in the first leg before Adelaide’s 19-year-old Harry Crawford netted the team’s equaliser just after the hour mark.
The Reds overtook their upcoming opponents to second place in the standings with a 2-1 victory over Melbourne City on the final day of the season. They are now unbeaten in their last 11 games (W5 D6).
The hosts had the best home record in the division in the regular season (W7 D3 L3), but both their previous league games against Auckland at this venue ended in draws.
Meanwhile, Auckland secured their spot in the semis by beating City on penalties in the Elimination final. The winner of this tie will face either the Newcastle Jets or Sydney FC.
The Black Knights have not been in great form of late, having failed to win any of their last seven games in regulation time (D5 L2) since the middle of March.
However, the visitors are unbeaten in their last five away games, and had the second-best away record in the regular season (W6 D5 L2).

Our Adelaide United vs Auckland FC Prediction
For the majority of the season, Auckland looked likely to challenge for top spot in the league standings, but they have experienced a notable dip over the last couple of months, now winless in their last seven games (regulation time).
Adelaide United ended the regular season as the second-highest scoring team in the division, but they also conceded 36 goals, the same as second-bottom Brisbane. This should be another close contest, and we expect that both teams will get on the scoresheet. Our Adelaide United vs Auckland FC prediction is BTTS.
