Game week two of the Npl South Australian season and the teams have had a few days to digest the first match. Here's the Adelaide Blue Eagles - Adelaide City preview:
There should be plenty of energy on the pitch in this game, as both sides have had time to recuperate from their last game. Let's hope both teams are ready to give it all.
These teams are located so close to each other that their supporters eat in the same restaurants, hang out at the same night clubs and give birth at the same hospitals. This means added importance to the game and a vibrant atmosphere.
