Melbourne Victory vs Adelaide United match Prediction 13 December 2025

Melbourne Victory have not been in their best play lately, while Adelaide United have struggled to see a win in any of their games on the road. However, since both teams will aim to end their struggling in this match, I expect both teams to perform in front of the net at halftime. Given that, the home team will aim to end four games without a goal, while the visiting team will aim to build on their scoring abilities, and I expect a total of three goals to be recorded. Moreso, since I expect both teams to display in front of the net, I will say more five corner kicks will be recorded at halftime, since I expect their defences to react against their attacking players.
