Melbourne Victory vs Adelaide United Prediction: We expect a tight contest here

When they take on Adelaide United on Sunday, Melbourne Victory will be looking to make it two wins in a row after knocking off the current A-League leaders on derby day the previous weekend.

The visitors are also feeling quite confident after going six matches in a row without suffering a loss, which has allowed them to move up into third position in the standings. Expert betting tips and odds are provided below.

Last weekend, Melbourne Victory were involved in a five-goal thriller that resulted in them producing a surprising outcome by defeating their local rivals Melbourne City, despite the fact that they were at the opposite end of the table. The game was a thriller since it featured five goals.

After suffering a loss the previous week, Melbourne Victory were able to get back on track and win for the first time in two weeks as a result of this, and they will now attempt to win back-to-back games for the first time this year.

In light of the fact that a loss might result in them plummeting to the bottom of the table immediately, there will be a great deal of pressure placed on the team to perform well in this match in order to guarantee that they keep making progress.

The away team is now sitting in last position in the A-League standings, and as a result, they have their own motivations to be fighting for all three points, as they want to put pressure on the teams that are currently ahead of them.

If Adelaide United were to earn three points, they would have the opportunity to move into second position and maybe narrow the gap between themselves and Melbourne City at the same time.

They were involved in a thrilling eight-goal encounter against Western Sydney Wanderers last weekend, and they ended up drawing 4-4. It was a game of frustration for them after they were pegged back three times, and it was a game that ended in a draw.

The recent matches played by Adelaide United have included a high number of goals, and the fact that these matches have been so open is something that the squad will be aiming to improve in order to have more control over the outcome of their games.

This season, Adelaide has been the side that has let up the most goals when playing away from their stadium. As a result, they have had difficulty winning games away from home, as they have only done it twice thus far.

It is possible that we will see goals from both sides of the net, but we do not anticipate there will be an excessive number of corners in this encounter. As an alternative to corners, we anticipate goals.

When these two sides competed against each other the last time, a total of seven yellow cards were sent out. When looking back over their most recent seven games, both teams' matchups against one another have resulted in at least six yellow cards being shown.
