Howzit it going boys.
A League finals kick off tonight with Adelaide taking on the Brisbane Roar at their patch, should be a cracker of an atmosphere down there they love their Reds.
Brisbane have been on really nice run of form lately. Two losses to the league winning Victory and one away in the ACL to Suwon but going to asia and losing isn't a mark against them and they gave the Victory everything in those two games the latter of which was with a B team really. That 3-2 win against the Reds in Adelaide, the 6-1 demo job of Central Coast and the huge scalp of Beijing must have them full of confidence tonight.
Adelaide put Melb City to the sword in their last game but have either done enough or been unlucky losers in their recent games, leads to a very intriguing match up tonight.
Interestingly the away team won all three games this season with Brisbane coming out 2-1 H2H.
O/U on the season was Bris 16-11, Ade 17-10.
So no surprise that the over is juiced a bit (1.70 I see), but hey I'm going out on a limb here and hoping finals football mentality kicks in a little and this one stays under.
Under 2.5 @ 2.12 for me tonight. Brisbane's defense has been improved lately and the Reds haven't been taking their chances. Also think Adelaide may play a very possession based game playing it around their backline especially in the first half, no one will want to give up an early goal in this one.
Will post some thoughts on Well/Melb City on sunday. Both teams have stuttered into the finals leaning BTTS No at this stage, might be a dour affair.
