Adelaide United

Adelaide hasn't boasted significant victories in recent years but consistently makes it to the playoffs. Last year, the team lost in the semifinals, which was already a notable achievement for them. After eight rounds, Adelaide sits in seventh place in the league table with just ten points. Their attacking game stands out, having scored 17 goals, with only Melbourne Victory netting more.

Newcastle Jets

The team clinched the Australian championship in the 2007/2008 season but hasn't come close to those heights since then. In the previous season, they failed to make it to the playoffs, finishing just 10th in the regular championship. The new season hasn't started favorably either, gathering only nine points in eight matches, leaving them outside the playoff spots. Particularly noteworthy is their defensive struggle, conceding an average of two goals per game, making them one of the worst teams in the A-League by this measure.

Interesting Match Facts and Head-to-Head History

• Adelaide United is on a losing streak, having lost their last three matches.
• Newcastle failed to score in only one match this season.
• These teams haven't played a draw since 2019.

Prediction

With both teams placed next to each other in the league table and considering their recent results, I anticipate a high-scoring match. My bet is on a total of over 3 goals.
