Brisbane Roar and Adelaide United will battle for three points in an Australian A League matchday five clash on Saturday (November 23rd). The game will be played at the Allianz Stadium in Sydney, but Brisbane Roar are the designated hosts.
The home side are coming into the game on the back of a 2-0 defeat away to Melbourne Victory before the international break. Nishan Velupillay and Jason Geria scored in either half to help their side claim all three points.
Adelaide United, meanwhile, claimed a 2-1 comeback victory over Western United. They went behind to Kane Vidmar's 10th-minute strike while Dylan Leonard's 32nd-minute own goal drew the game level. Zach Clough scored the match-winner in the 71st minute.
The victory took them to fifth spot in the table, having garnered seven points from three games. Brisbane Roar are bottom of the standings on zero points.
Brisbane Roar have made a nightmarish start to the season, having lost all three games, conceding seven goals while scoring just two. Furthermore, they have won just one of the last five head-to-head games (two losses) in this fixture.
Adelaide United, on the other hand, have made a three-game unbeaten start to the season, winning two games and drawing one. The game being played on neutral grounds gives them an extra edge and Carl Veart's side enter the game as slight favorites.
We are backing Adelaide United to claim a narrow victory with goals at both ends.
