Another interesting game in the A-League. Adelaide United is in the 7th position after playing three matches. They welcome Melbourne Victory who are placed 11th after one games.

These are busy days for the home team, as they were in action only three days ago in the A-League. At least it's nice to return home after that away game at Perth Glory.

Adelaide United form and stats

Adelaide United have only played one A-League game here so far, a win. Last season their home statistics were 7 wins, 1 draw and 5 defeats from 13 matches.

No payout for Adelaide in their previous match, an away game at Perth Glory that ended in defeat 3-5. Previous to that game, a home match hosting Melbourne City in a game that was won 2-0.

As you can tell by the result above, the goals flowed freely in the previous game and the stadium rocked. Could there be another goal fest today?

It's still early days, but we have some goal stats for the Adelaide United at home in the league. 2 on target and 0 scored by the opposition; from 1 match.

Melbourne Victory form and stats

Melbourne Victory failed to get anything from their last game, a A-League home match vs Brisbane Roar (placed 3rd) that ended with defeat 1-3. It was a AFC Champions League defeat before that one as the away game against Ulsan wasn't a success with a 0-1 loss.

After this away game Melbourne return home for a A-League game against Sydney. That game is only three sleeps after this.

Let's have a look at how Melbourne Victory performed last season in the A-League: They landed a 10th position in the league table after playing out 6 victories, 5 draws and 15 defeats. In total they scored 33 and conceded 44 goals in these matches. The numbers for away games only are: Won 3 - drew 2 and lost 8 with 17/23 goals scored/conceded.

Head 2 Head

Numbers for the last ten meetings between these two teams are: five wins for Adelaide, one draw and four wins for Melbourne Victory. Over 2,5 goals: six times; under 2,5 goals: four games.
