Matchday 18 in the A-League will see Adelaide United host Melbourne City at Coopers Stadium on Friday. The Reds are second in the league after earning 28 points, while the City Blues are in seventh position with 24 points. Let's get into the match prediction.
Adelaide United failed to close the gap in the title race after suffering a 4-1 thrashing at the hands of Sydney FC on Saturday.
With that result, they are aiming to avoid a third straight match without a victory (D1 L1). Notably, both teams have scored in each of their last five games.
At home, the Reds have struggled to get over the line, taking the lead in the last five matches yet proceeding to win just one (W1 D3 L1).
Meanwhile, Melbourne City have now lost two consecutive matches after succumbing 1-0 to Macarthur FC last week, however, they will have 13 days of rest before entering this match.
The Hearts have seen two of their four defeats this season come from their past two matches, with three consecutive wins preceding that result. Only one team has scored during this run.
On the road, they have experienced a considerable drop in form, with four wins, two draws, and two losses in that order since the start of the season.
