Adelaide United vs Wellington Phoenix United match Prediction 17 April 2025

Adelaide United have not had their best play in their last eight games, while Wellington Phoenix will aim to prevent a defeat on the road following their last defeat, and aim to secure a win on the road and extend their unbeaten streak of two to three games on the road. Therefore, I expect more than a goal to be registered early, given that both teams were poor defensive units, while I expect both teams to score in this match, with more than two goals to be recorded. However, since both teams have registered multiple corner kicks in their last five games, I expect multiple corner kicks to be recorded in this match, since I expect more attacking play than defensive play.
