The Npl South Australian league table might not tell the truth so early on, but it's the best truth we have so far. Adelaide Comets and Cumberland United are placed 8th and 12th respectively.
Both teams have had enough rest since their last competitive action. Let's hope for an energetic game!
These teams are so close in distance that this match is special, a derby with local pride the main prize.
Adelaide Comets form and stats
Happy days for Adelaide Comets in their previous game, a Npl South Australian match away at Adelaide Olympic (placed 6th) that ended with a 1-0 victory. Prior to that was the away defeat visiting Modbury Jets (0-1).
Cumberland United form and stats
The story so far for the visiting team on their Npl South Australian travels is 0 wins, 0 draws and 1 defeat.
The attacking players of Cumberland United have been feeble for some time now, the team not scoring a league goal in the last 180 minutes.
Home advantage was not enough for Cumberland United in their previous game, as they lost their Npl South Australian-match, hosting NE MetroStars, 0-8. A 0-3 defeat away at Adelaide City before that.
As you can see from the result above, the defeat against NE MetroStars was particularly ugly (0-8). The humiliation is still top of mind.
Cumberland United have the goal stats of 0-3 (for/against) from 1 business trip in the league at this early stage of the season.
