LWWWLD
In their previous game, Adelaide United drew 3-3 in the A-League tie with Western United.
In that match, Adelaide United had 56% possession and 22 shots at goal with 8 on target. For Adelaide United, the scorers were Hiroshi Ibusuki (45', 57') and Nestor Irankunda (62'). Western United got 17 shots at goal with 8 on target. Matthew Grimaldi (19'), James Donachie (34') and Connor O'Toole (94') scored for Western United.
Adelaide United have attacked well of late, having scored 14 goals in their previous 6 matches. While their manager Carl Veart will no doubt take that as a positive sign, Adelaide United have been somewhat leaky at the back, having also been scored against in 5 of those same clashes. That sort of trend won’t necessarily be carried forward into this game, though.
Going into this contest, Adelaide United have not lost to Brisbane Roar in away games against them for the last 3 matches in the league.

Prediction
For this match, we think that Brisbane Roar have it within them to be able to create a high number of chances and successful shots on target.
However, Adelaide United will not find it easy getting on the scoresheet although we do think that they will probably end up hitting back at some stage here, too.
We reckon that it will be a 3-1 winning margin for Brisbane Roar by the time that the referee blows the final whistle.
