Player to watch: Zack Clough
There are several Adelaide United performers who are playing quite nicely this season, but we think Clough will be the key man on the pitch for the visitors. Since the start of the 2024/25 A-League campaign, he scored three goals and supplied teammates with five valuable assists.
Second player to watch: Paulo Retre
Wellington Phoenix’s Paulo Retre will likely get minutes against Adelaide United. The defensive midfielder is among coach Italiano’s key men this season. He even managed to open his score tab for the home side with a lovely goal a couple of weeks ago.
