Melbourne Victory vs Adelaide United Prediction and Betting Tips | March 29th 2025
The Australian A-League returns with a fresh set of fixtures as Melbourne Victory and Adelaide United square off at the Melbourne Rectangular Stadium on Saturday. Both sides are currently level on points in the playoff race and will be looking to get one over the other as they push for a top-six finish.
Melbourne Victory were left disappointed just before the international break as they suffered a 4-2 defeat against Western Sydney Wanderers after giving up a two-goal lead.
Before that, Arthur Diles’ men were on a four-game unbeaten run, picking up two wins and two draws while scoring seven goals and keeping two clean sheets in that time.
Melbourne Victory have picked up 33 points from their 21 matches so far to sit fifth in A-League standings, level on points with Saturday’s visitors in sixth place.
Elsewhere, Adelaide United were on the wrong end of a nine-goal thriller last time out as they fell to a 5-4 defeat against Macarthur at the Hindmarsh Stadium.
With that result, the Reds have gone five consecutive matches without a win, losing three and claiming two draws since February’s 1-0 victory over Melbourne City.
While Adelaide United will be looking to find their feet this weekend, they have failed to win their last five visits to the Melbourne Rectangular Stadium since a narrow 1-0 victory in May 2021.
