Correct score prediction: Adelaide United 1-2 Western Sydney Wanderers
We believe our chief Adelaide United vs Western Sydney Wanderers predictions will succeed, as a 1-2 Western Sydney win isn’t going to be something too out of the ordinary. After all, two of the last nine head-to-heads resulted this way. Surely, there’s a chance the game on the 27th of December might as well.
Pre-game odds and win probability: Can Veart’s troops prove bookies right?
- HOME: 17/20 (1.85) – 53.1%

*These Adelaide United vs Western Sydney Wanderers odds are subject to change
As you can see from the odds above, the favourites to win the match on the 27th of December are Adelaide United. Coach Veart’s players keep a massive 53.1% win probability before the start of the game, which should be enough for the three points.
In the meantime, the visitors only seem to ‘enjoy’ a rather unconvincing 23.0% shot at the three points. Surely, Mata and his colleagues will struggle at Hindmarsh Stadium.

Player to watch: Bozhidar Kraev
Bulgarian attacking midfielder Kraev is the key player to watch in our top Adelaide United vs Western Sydney Wanderers prediction, as he is one of the visitors’ most influential players. The 27-year-old playmaker scored a 10th-minute goal against his former club last week, as Wellington Phoenix were brushed aside.
Second player to watch: Gabriel Cleur
Wanderers’ right-back is performing above all expectations this season. Not only is he a rock at the back, but he is also the visitors’ top creator, with three assists this season.
