Under 3.5 goals at Adelaide United vs Western Sydney Wanderers 4/6 for Thursday’s A-League matchup

Competition: A-League

Market: Under 3.5 goals

Odds: 4/6 @ 888sport

In a matchup between two sides who have shown a host of inconsistencies at the back end of the campaign, Adelaide will host the Western Sydney Wanderers on Thursday morning.

Starting with the hosts, slumping back to losing ways in a worrying fashion last time out, Adelaide know that they must land maximum points in midweek if they are to clinch a Final Series spot. In their 25 A-League contests this season, they have recorded 11 wins, five draws and nine defeats, scoring 37 and conceding 39 in return. Managing to muster themselves a points tally of 38, they open their final fixture on Thursday morning sat holding a three-point buffer from dropping out of the top-six. As for their recent run of results, hit with a drumming at the hands of Sydney last time out, Adelaide have managed to win just a pair of their last nine A-League contests, a run that stems back to the middle of April. It should also be noted, the hosts have failed to bag more than a single goal in each of their last eight straight matchups.

As for the visitors, while the Western Sydney Wanderers might have managed to make a return to winning ways last time out, they have left it too late to mount a serious charge for the top-six. In their 25 A-League matchups this season, they have recorded nine wins, seven draws and nine defeats, scoring 43 and conceding 41 in return. Managing to muster themselves a points tally of 43, The Reds open the midweek fixtures sat eighth in the table and three points adrift of breaking into the Final Series spots with one contest remaining. As for their recent run of results, last seen landing a 2-0 victory against Brisbane Roar, The Wanderers brought an end to their three-match losing run. However, it should be noted, without a win in their last six straight fixtures on the road, Western Sydney have failed to bag more than a single goal in five of those contests.
