Adelaide United vs Lion City AFC Champions League 2 Tips, Prediction & Live Stream

Lion City beat Sydney FC in the semi-finals of the AFC Champions League 2 last year and now have their sights set on another A-League scalp when they travel to Coopers to face Adelaide United on Thursday night.

I think Lion City can come away with at least a point and look good value for the upset. They are two-time Singapore champions and reached the final of this competition last year, while Adelaide lost key players in the offseason and lost their only game of the season so far to Sydney this past weekend.

Take both teams to score as the main play, with smaller stakes on Lion City to secure a positive result on Matchday 3.

Adelaide United vs Lion City Predictions & Best Bets

Lion City Win or Draw	$2.00 @ Dabble	Adelaide have only won five of their last 15 competitive games in all comps - they were second-best vs Sydney FC at the weekend, while Lion City are on a four-game winning streak + have had success vs A-League clubs in this comp before
Lion City Win	$4.00 @ Dabble	Lion City were finalists in this competition in 2025 - they know how to progress and win on the road, while Adelaide are only one game into the A-League season & still working on their best combinations

Adelaide United vs Lion City Head To Head

This will be the first meeting between the clubs.

Adelaide United Form Analysis

It's been a perfect start to the ACL 2 for Adelaide as they come into this clash top of Group F with a maximum six points.

The Reds eased past Tai Po 3-0 at home on Matchday 1 before an impressive 2-1 win on the road over Pathum United, with Craig Goodwin and Ethan Alagich getting on the scoresheet.

Adelaide had a bye in Round 1 of the A-League, but couldn't get off the mark last week, failing to capitalise on Brody Burkitt's early goal as they went down 2-1 at Allianz to Sydney FC.

Lion City Form Analysis

Lion City are two points behind Adelaide in second spot in Group F after drawing 1-1 with Pathum at home before a 1-0 triumph over Tai Po on the road.

Mark Jackson's side have won the Singapore S-League over the last two seasons and are currently third early into this current campaign, winning three of their four games.

The Sailors bring a four-game winning streak into this clash, including a 6-0 thumping of Tanjong Pagar at the weekend in the league.

Adelaide United vs Lion City Team News

Adelaide are likely to stick with the same side that went down to Sydney, with rising prodigy Amlani Tatu set to come off the bench.
