Adelaide United vs Brisbane Roar Prediction
Adelaide United come into this one on the back of a thrilling 4-4 draw with league leaders Auckland in New Zealand last weekend. They were 2-0 down in that game before then conceding a 92nd minute Hiroki Sakai goal but then managing to salvage a point deep into second-half stoppage-time. Brisbane Roar managed to hold Melbourne Victory to a 1-1 draw last weekend but they remain rock-bottom in the A League with just one win in their 17 matches so far this season and Adelaide, especially with their home advantage, are the firm favourites for this one.
