Command Analysis

Western United FC

Current form
Western United failed last season, taking the penultimate place, but they won back in full in the current championship draw. The club managed to take the third place, lagging only one point behind the second line, which would have allowed them to reach the semi-finals immediately. Now we have to fight with Adelaide United. The Melbourne team played the last matches on their own field and managed to beat Sydney first (1-0), and then the best team of this season, Auckland New Zealand (4:2). The hosts approach the first round of the playoffs in a good mood.

Tate Russell will not play due to injury.
Interesting betting trends
- None of the last 10 matches of the hosts ended in a draw.
- The team has won its last five home matches
Approximate composition: Sutton - Garuccio, Leonard, Donaghy, Imai - Grimaldi, Tergate, Bozinowski, Danzaki - Boteach, Ruhs

Adelaide United

Current form
By some miracle, Adelaide United managed to get into the playoffs. The team finished the season earlier than the others and was forced to wait listlessly for the competitors' matches. The visitors were ahead of their main competitor, Sydney, by one point, but the opponent had two matches to correct the situation. However, Sydney lost both matches, so the team from Adelaide remained in sixth place. In recent rounds, Karl Wirth's team have drawn with Brisbane Roar (1-1) and Melbourne City (0-0).
Disqualifications and injuries
Panache Madanya and Bailey O'Neill are absent from the guest list. Archie Godwin's appearance on the field is questionable.
Interesting betting trends
- The team has scored only one victory in the last 11 matches.
- The visitors have not won seven matches on the road for the past seven years.
Approximate composition: Vartouli - Lopez, Kikianis, Vrinds, Pierias - Alagic, Isaias - Kitto, Mauk, Clough -Godwin

The last face-to-face match ended with the following score
17.00Bet At least one team won't score
This bet has played in two of the last four matches of the hosts
2.75Tip and bets
The hosts are the clear favorite in this showdown. Western United is in great shape right now and is determined to reach the semi-finals, plus the third team in the championship has home advantage and fan support. At the same time, the guests failed the last stage of the season and were able to get into the top 6 only thanks to the mistakes of competitors. It's hard to believe that Adelaide United's losing streak won't continue in the playoffs.
Our betting tip is Western United's victory in 1.80
Bet on the total
The teams played their matches quite effectively in the regular season, but for sure everything will be different in the playoffs. Here, the opponents have no right to make mistakes, and any flaw in defense can be fatal. The opponents will compete for a place in the semifinals and will try to play carefully. We do not think that there will be a scoring extravaganza in the quarterfinal match.
Our betting tip is a total of less than 3.5 goals in 1.78
Betting on corners
We believe that the opponents will rely on defense, so we should not expect a large number of flank attacks. A defensive style of play is unlikely to lead to a large number of corners.
Our betting tip is a total of less than 10.5 corners in 2.03
