In A-League action on Sunday (January 29), Melbourne City will play host to Adelaide United at AAMI Park. After a blistering start to the new season, the hosts want to win the A-League Men’s Premiership for the third time in a row. With one game remaining, Melbourne has established a five-point lead at the top of the standings.
They have kept just a single loss in 12 association games, winning eight and drawing three. However, City Boys’ last two games against Western Sydney and Brisbane Roar, both of which ended in draws, have cost them four points. They’ll want to get back on their feet by scoring as many points as possible.
Melbourne prevailed 2-1 in their most recent match, while Adelaide United prevailed 2-1 in the previous two encounters. Adelaide, on the other hand, came in fourth out of 12 teams last year. They are currently fifth in the standings, eight points behind the leaders, having won five of their 13 games, drawn four, and lost four.
If they lose in Melbourne, four other teams could sweep them aside. This season, the Reds have struggled on the road, winning one, drawing two, and losing two of their last five games. In February, Adelaide defeated Melbourne at AAMI Park, and they will attempt to emulate that victory.
