Adelaide have won five of the last seven meetings between the teams, including a most-recent 4-1 victory at Coopers last season.

Adelaide United Form

After failing to make the finals last term, Adelaide are off to a good start this season, taking four points from a possible six following their opening round bye.

Adelaide started their season with a 1-1 draw at home against reigning premiers Central Coast before turning it on at CommBank last week.

Carl Veart's side condemned the Wanderers to another home loss, winning a thrilling encounter 4-3 as Dylan Pierias scored a double, while Luka Jovanovic and Austin Ayoubi also got on the scoresheet.

Veart will be keen to tighten up his defence after leaking three goals against the Wanderers, meaning 33-year-old former Sparta Rotterdam defender Bart Vriends should be in line for a start after missing the first two games through injury.

Western United Form

After narrowly avoiding the wooden spoon last season, Western are already off the pace this term, going winless across their opening three games.

Western opened the season promisingly enough with a 1-1 draw across the ditch against Wellington, but they were also held to the same score at home to the Wanderers in Round 2.

John Aloisi's side then failed to find the back of the net in a 1-0 defeat on Monday night against Melbourne City.

Ramy Najjarine and Khoder Kaddour will miss this game through injury, while Ben Garrucio and James Donachie are questionable.

Verdict

Adelaide United v Western United

Adelaide have made a strong start to the season and have won five of their last seven games against Western, who are winless across their three matches.

Playing at Coopers also gives Adelaide an advantage, so backing the Reds to prevail in a game that could feature a lot of goals once more.
