Adelaide United vs Auckland FC Tips & Prediction
It's a top four showdown in the A-League on Friday night as Adelaide United play host to Auckland FC at Coopers Stadium.
Adelaide are one of the form teams in the competition and come into this clash having gone unbeaten in 10 of their last 11 games, while Auckland suffered a shock 2-1 loss to Macarthur at home before the break, putting a dent in their minor premiership aspirations. It sets up an intriguing clash here, with Adelaide having the opportunity to close the gap to Auckland in second place to just one point.
Always tough to beat at Coopers, I'm taking Adelaide in the Double Chance market, while there's good value on a share of the spoils, with the Reds drawing three of their last four games - all by 1-1 scores. Young striker Luka Jovanovic has been in sensational form as of late and scored against Auckland earlier this season, so he's the pick for Anytime Goalscorer.

Adelaide United vs Auckland FC Head To Head

Adelaide United Form Analysis
Adelaide come into this contest with a 10-5-7 record on the season and sitting pretty in fourth spot on the ladder.
Enjoying an eight-point buffer on seventh-placed Central Coast, you'd think the Reds have done just about enough to secure finals football, but with games against the first and second-placed teams to come over the next fortnight, they will be dreaming even bigger.
Register upsets over both Auckland and Newcastle and Adelaide would suddenly be in the minor premiership race - or at the very least, a top two finish would be more than realistic.
Adelaide come into this clash following a 4-2 win over the Western Sydney Wanderers on the road before the break, with Luka Jovanovic scoring a brace. Juan Muniz and Panagiotis Kikianis also got on the scoresheet.
