well adelaide has won only once in last 16 visits to melbourne.
but today history out of window... match up between highest scorers melbourne (15 scored) against best defense adelaide (4 conceded).
missings :
home side M. delpierre
away side P izzo J elsey
last 6 encounters has produced 23 goals between these two, thats 3.8 per game... nothing puts my off to take here
over 3.5 @ 2.9
i would say start of a game could bit nervy, coutious and tight , but silence will be broken and hell gates will be open
2 -2 or 3 - 1 either side
as well as as it is home side 10th anniversary and crowed could be anxies and demanding , ithink it will put bit pressure on a home side. i like away team boss attitude for this game... Adelaide United coach Josep Gombau said ..
"It's like a final, away, in front of a big crowd," he said.
"They have (their) 10-year anniversary. We are here to play these kind of games, with (a) full house.
"This kind of game, you have nothing to lose and a lot to win."
i think it will ease expectations on team and key in this kind of game could be their defense. just few pages ago in this thread, melbourne spoiled our bets here, and they looked very slow starters and vulnerable at a back in game they should win easily, but seems then push comes to show... well that`s only one example , but that`s plays in my mind...
as well as i think that bad h2h record will be improved from away team , as away teams boss seems have brought in new football in australia of late ... at least in my eyes , so i locked
adelaide/adelide @ 5
yeaahhh baby yeahhh
