- 7 Questions and Answers Regarding Our Adelaide United vs Wellington Phoenix Predictions:
Adelaide United to Win
If Adelaide United’s winning march doesn’t stop soon, we just might see Carl Veart’s boys challenge Melbourne City for 1st place. Hearts are at the top with a healthy six-point lead but anything can happen in football. Especially, when you consider the fact that an Adelaide United win against Wellington Phoenix is long overdue. The last time we saw Wellington lose to Adelaide United was on the 1st of January, 2022.
A year has passed since then and what better opportunity for Adelaide United to balance the head-to-head stats with a victory than a home game when their momentum is second to none?
Craig Goodwin to Score Anytime
The second Adelaide United vs Wellington Phoenix prediction could be considered a tad risky by some of you but bear with us. With nine goals since the start of the season, Adelaide United’s captain is the top goalscorer at coach Carl Veart’s disposal.
But he’s definitely no one-trick pony! Craig Goodwin provided teammates with eight assists in the A-League alone and thus became the most creative player on the team by a landslide. The only one that comes even remotely close to Craig Goodwin’s impressive numbers is Ben Halloran with four assists. If Wellington Phoenix want to go home unbeaten, containing the 31-year-old should be a key objective.

Adelaide United are the big favorites at 21/20 (2.05) and we’re convinced that the 47.0% chance for Carl Veart’s boys to win should be enough to convince you in our Adelaide United vs Wellington Phoenix predictions.

Player to Watch: Oscar Zawada
As good of a player as Craig Goodwin is, he’s not the player to watch on Friday. That honor is reserved for Wellington Phoenix’s Oscar Zawada. The 27-year-old’s first-half winner brought the three points to his manager on a silver platter and we’re certain he’ll want to boost his already impressive tally on Friday.
