Adelaide United, Recent FormAdelaide United will be very happy having secured 3 points in their last match with a significant 1-0 away win against Newcastle United Jets. In that game they had 50% possession and managed 17 attempts on goal, with 8 on target, compared to Newcastle United Jets who had 11 attempts and 3 on target.
Manager Carl Veart will be shining a spotlight on his team's poor defensive record of late, having conceded 12 goals in their last 6 games, despite picking up a modest amount of points due in no small part to the 9 goals they managed at the other end. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 home games, but they've conceded a goal in each of their the last 10 games at Coopers Stadium.
It's been a bad run of form of late for them, having racked up 4 losses and only a single victory in their last 6 league matches, so they'll need to turn things around if they want to start climbing the table.
With 6 league goals in 6 games at home in Coopers Stadium, Hiroshi Ibusuki will be feeling confident about hitting the net again in this home encounter.
Western United, Recent FormA 2-2 draw against Melbourne Victory will be viewed as a positive outcome for Western United and a valuable point into the bargain. In that game they recorded 49 % of the possession, with 9 attempts on goal, 5 on target. Their opponents found the target on 2 of their 8 shots on goal.
It seems pretty certain that John Aloisi will be quite pleased with his squad's ability to score goals in recent matches, having managed 11 goals in their past 6 outings. In contrast, however, he will be concerned that their defensive qualities look a little more fragile, with 7 goals conceded in those matches and some crucial points dropped. They have scored in 4 of their last 6 away games, but so far this season they have conceded a goal at least once in 19 of their 21 games overall.
They've shown some decent form of late, being unbeaten in 5 of their last 6 matches, with 3 of the 5 being victories for good measure.
Goalscorer Daniel Penha will be planning to get himself on the scoresheet once more, having notched up 4 goals in his last 6 league matches for Western United.
Last time these two teams met in the league it ended in disappointment for Western United, losing 1-3 to Adelaide United.
The Adelaide Utd defence has struggled against The West in past meetings, having conceded 1 or more goals in each of their last 6 games. Playing away from home, Western Utd have kept a clean sheet in 2 of their last 3 league games against Adelaide Utd.
With no real injury worries, Adelaide Utd manager Carl Veart will be happy to have his full squad available for selection.
Western Utd manager John Aloisi has no real injury worries ahead of this clash.
