  • Adelaide are unbeaten in 11 of their last 12 games vs City

Melbourne City vs Adelaide United Head To Head

Adelaide came away with a thumping 4-1 win back in Round 5, with Ethan Alagich, Luka Jovanović, Ryan White and Jay Barnett getting on the scoresheet.

Melbourne City Form

City come into this clash with a 10-8-7 record on the season and hitting some good form at the pointy end.

After struggling to juggle Asian Champions League football with domestic duties, City have regained some form over the last month to put their premiership defence back on charge.

Aurelio Vidmar's side have surged up to fifth spot on the ladder and will be hoping to secure a home elimination final.

After wins over the Mariners, Wanderers and Phoenix, City were forced to come from behind to conquer Brisbane 3-2 at Suncorp last week. Marcus Younis scored a double in five minutes to put City ahead in the second half before Mehdin Memeti sealed all three points.

Adelaide United Form

Adelaide head into this encounter with an 11-7-7 record on the season, surging up to third place on the ladder.

If only Adelaide could have secured all three points in a couple of their recent five draws and they'd be in the box seat to secure a top two finish.

The Reds can still claim second spot, but they would need to rely on Sydney beating Auckland and upsetting City on the road here.

Adelaide made it 13 games unbeaten in their last 14 outings with last week's 3-1 triumph over Macarthur at home, with Brazilian veteran Anselmo de Moraes bagging himself a double.

Verdict

Adelaide are backed to continue their lengthy unbeaten run by picking up at least a point on the road.
