After an excellent start to the season, Adelaide's form has fallen off a cliff and now they've finally tumbled outside of the top six, they might not be able to turn things around.
With just one win from their last 11 games and currently riding a four-game losing streak, it's surprising to see Adelaide as short as $1.55 favourites at the time of writing. I can't possibly back the Reds at those odds, especially with Wellington showcasing some decent form as of late, going unbeaten in three of their last four outings.
With this in mind, I'm backing Phoenix to avoid defeat in the Double Chance market, while Over 3.5 total goals also catches the eye. Adelaide have conceded a whopping 25 goals in their last seven games, including a dire 4-1 loss to lowly Perth last week, while they've seen 5+ goals in their last four matches.
- Adelaide have seen 5+ goals in their last four games
- Adelaide have conceded 25 goals across their last seven games
- Wellington have seen Over 3.5 goals in two of their last three games
- Adelaide are bottom of the league on form over the last 10 games
- Adelaide have won just one of their last 11 games
- Adelaide are on a four-game losing streak
- Phoenix are unbeaten in three of their last four games
Head To Head
These two sides have only met once this season, with Adelaide coming away with a 2-1 victory across the Tasman back in Round 13.
Adelaide United Form
It's been a disastrous last few months for Adelaide and now they are in very real danger of missing out on the finals.
Indeed, across the last 10 games, Adelaide are rock bottom on the ladder, picking up just five points and losing seven times during that period.
Carl Veart has announced his departure at season's end, so things just keep going from bad to worse for Adelaide, who enter this match on a four-game losing run.
With a fantastic opportunity to remain in the top six last week against last-placed Perth Glory, Adelaide produced a shocking performance, going down 4-1.
Adelaide United Team News
Ryan Kitto is a chance to return to the side this week after missing the Perth loss due to concussion.
Wellington Phoenix Form
Wellington's finals aspirations were realistically over weeks ago, but they are proving a thorn in the side for other teams chasing a top six spot.
Phoenix dropped a hammer blow on the Newcastle Jets a couple of weeks ago with an upset 2-1 win on the road, while they gave Melbourne Victory a scare last weekend before going down 3-2.
Having also picked up a point at top six sides in Sydney FC and the Wanderers over the last month, Phoenix are in decent form heading into this clash - but their poor start to the season means they are languishing in 11th position, 10 points adrift of the top six.
Wellington Phoenix Team News
Paulo Retre could be a chance to come into the starting side after scoring off the bench against Victory last week.
Verdict
Can't back Adelaide as favourites - they are in shocking form, leaking goals at a rapid rate and have just one win in their last 11.
Phoenix are in solid form, so backing the Kiwi club in the Double Chance market with Over 3.5 total goals for the match.
