Preview:
The Reds went down to the Phoenix and Mariners by 2-1 scorelines either side of a 2-1 win over the Jets.
Western Sydney Wanderers arrested a five-game losing streak with a 1-all draw at home to Western United. But they will be frustrated at conceding an 87th-minute equaliser – particularly when they are winless for more than two months.
The home team is winless in the last five matches of this rivalry, with Wanderers picking up a win and a draw in two visits to Adelaide last season. WSW’s win in February ended an eight-game winless streak against United.
While Adelaide’s loss to Central Coast was dismal, they have been significantly better than Western Sydney across the season. Wanderers have lost four straight on the road and will struggle to take anything away from this one.
