Brisbane Roar vs Adelaide United Prediction

Brisbane Roar have started their 2024/25 Australian A League campaign with three successive defeats as they come into this one on the back of a 2-0 defeat to Melbourne Victory a couple of weeks ago. Adelaide United, on the other hand, have collected seven points from their opening three matches as they try to propel themselves towards the top end of the table. They most recently defeated Western United by two goals to one and are slight favourites for this one, despite being away from home.
