Posted January 16th, 2020 | By: Tom Dunstan

Competition: A-League

Market: Over 2.5 goals

Odds: 3/5 @ Bet 365

Two sides with a reputation for their high-scoring encounters, Adelaide United will host Melbourne Victory on Friday morning.

Starting with the hosts, continuing on what has been a woeful run of form, Adelaide United have begun falling down the A-League standings at a worrying rate. In their opening 12 matches this season, they have recorded five wins, against seven defeats, scoring 19 and conceding 21 in return. Slipping out of the top half of the table, it should also be noted that they hold the second-worst defensive record in the division. As for their recent run of results, losing each of their last four matches on the bounce and conceding at least a pair of strikes in each of those defeats, each of Adelaide’s last eight matches on the bounce have seen over 2.5 goals at full-time.

As for the visitors, continuing to show some worrying inconsistencies, Melbourne Victory are another outfit seeking some much-needed stability. In their 13 A-League matches this season, they have recorded four wins, three draws, and six defeats, scoring 17 and conceding 18 in return. With a points tally of 15, they hold just a one-point buffer over Friday’s hosts and losing their top half status. As for their recent run of results, winning just three of their last 10 A-League appearances it should also be noted that each of the Victory’s last three matchups on the bounce have seen over 2.5 goals at full-time. Given both sides high-scoring reputation, we’re backing a similar outcome this week.
