Adelaide United team news and form: Adelaide’s manager with a taste for 1st place
Adelaide United lost 4-1 to Sydney in their previous A-League match. This cost Coach Carl Veart’s team the 1st place, but we believe that with the right approach, the players could get something out of the match against Melbourne City.
Predicted lineup: Cox (GK), Talladira, Kikianis, Vriends, Pierias, Barnett, Alagich, Yull, Mauk, Clough & Goodwin

Melbourne City team news and form: Aurelio Vidmar needs to find solutions
The manager will not be able to count on a couple of his best footballers, which is why we believe our Adelaide United vs Melbourne City prediction will succeed. The players who won’t travel are Max Caputo, Andrew Nabbout, Yonathan Cohen, Alessandro Lopane, Andreas Kuen, James Jeggo, and youngster Jayden Neckovski.

Player to watch: Aziz Behich
Team captain Aziz Behich would have to be at his lethal best if Melbourne City are to shut down the likes of Goodwin. However, the 34-year-old veteran does possess the required arsenal to get the job done and we believe his presence will help our top Adelaide United vs Melbourne City predictions.
Second player to watch: Stefan Mauk
Attacking midfielder Stefan Mauk scored five goals this season and we can’t wait to see if he will do well against Melbourne City as well. He and partner-in-crime Goodwin are a deadly duo. Surely, they’ll do their best to help their team succeed.
