While Adelaide have sensationally won all of their away games this season, they have only managed to prevail once in five outings at Coopers. With this in mind, Victory are backed in the Double Chance market for a win or draw here. Victory have won the last three meetings between the teams in all competitions and have only lost three of their 12 games this term - and one of them was a ridiculous defeat last week against Western United, where they blew a lead in the 89th minute.
- Victory are unbeaten in their last six games vs Adelaide
- Adelaide have won just one of their five home games this season
- Victory are unbeaten in nine of their 12 games this term
- Victory have drawn three of their last five games
- Archie Goodwin has scored five goals this season
Head To Head
This will be the first meeting between the teams this season, but Victory have won the last three encounters (and are also unbeaten in the last six overall), including a most-recent 1-0 triumph in the Australia Cup in September 2024.
Adelaide United Form
It's been an outstanding start to the season for Adelaide, who enter Round 15 on equal points with Melbourne City at the top of the table.
Adelaide can thank their flawless away record for their lofty standing, with the Reds winning all six of their outings on the road - including a most-recent 2-1 triumph over Wellington across the ditch, with Luka Jovanovic coming off the bench to score the winner for the second straight match.
However, surprisingly, it's Adelaide's home form that is proving costly, with Carl Veart's side only winning one of their five games at Coopers, with their last fixture at the venue resulting in a 3-2 loss to the Wanderers.
Adelaide United Team News
Ryan Kitto comes back into the squad for this clash, but Jordan Elsey and Bailey O'Neil remain out with injuries.
Melbourne Victory Form
Victory got off to a great start to the season, but Patrick Kisnorbo's shock departure to be an assistant coach in Japan has clearly rocked them.
Indeed, since Kisnorbo left the club, Victory are winless in five games, drawing three against Melbourne City, Auckland FC and the Wanderers and losing two against Sydney FC and Western United.
The 4-3 loss to Western last week was classic Victory - they dominated the game and were leading until the 91st minute before conceding two goals in injury time.
Melbourne Victory Team News
Reno Piscopo has been given a break for this game in the only change to the side that went down to Western last week.
Verdict
Adelaide are flying this season, but they've failed to produce their best football at home, winning just once at Coopers.
Victory haven't been the same since Kisnorbo left, but they've gone unbeaten in six straight against the Reds and usually lift for the Original Rivalry. Backing Victory in the double chance market, while Archie Goodwin is in career-best form with five goals this season.
