After their most recent match, in which they were defeated by a score of 4-0, Adelaide United will be hosting Melbourne Victory on Saturday, and they will be aiming to get back on track so they can win.

Adelaide United (LWLLD)

Throughout the course of the season, Adelaide United has displayed a number of strengths, but the team has had trouble maintaining the level of consistency that is required to move up in the division.

This squad is currently in sixth place in the standings, and while a win on Saturday has the ability to move them as high as third in the table, a loss also has the possibility of dumping them all the way to the bottom of the league.

In spite of this, Carl Veart will want to see his team turn in a better performance this time around after they were defeated by a score of 4-0 in their most recent contest.

Both Panashe Madanha and Alexandar Popovic scored own goals when the Central Coast Mariners were running wild, and it was a match that the entire team would rather forget.

To make matters worse, Isaias Sanchez was sent off, which ended up being a crucial turning point in an otherwise challenging day for the team. Due to the fact that Sanchez was sent off in the hosts' most recent match, they will need to make at least one alteration to the starting lineup that they used in that match.

The most recent 10 matches for the home team was victorious a total of six times and was successful in avoiding defeat on eight different occasions. Only two of the most recent ten matchups finished in a tie. Two of their most recent five matches had a total goal output of over 2.5, and two of those matches saw goals scored by both teams. During these games, Adelaide United only managed to keep a clean sheet once, while they failed to score in two of them. According to the numbers, they have scored 2.60 goals per game throughout the course of their most recent five matches.

Melbourne Victory (LLLWL)

The most recent encounter that Melbourne Victory played was on Friday against Brisbane Roar, and it resulted in a disheartening loss at home by the score of 0:1. The team has now dropped three matches in a row for a total of three straight losses. In the most recent ten matches that Melbourne Victory competed in, winning at home or on the road did not make a big difference for the teams involved. Instead, Melbourne Victory's teams were victorious at both venues, claiming four wins at their own stadium and five victories away from home.

Only one of those previous 10 encounters ended in a draw. Two of their most recent five matches each generated more than 2.5 goals, and one of those matches included both teams finding the back of the net.
