In what is a real showdown at the top of the A-League table on Wednesday morning, Adelaide will host Auckland.
Starting with the hosts, while Adelaide might have found themselves scrapping it out at the foot of the A-League table last season, Carl Veart’s side have come roaring back in a remarkable fashion. Cementing their spot as Australia’s ultimate surprise package this year, the Reds are in the midst of a stellar purple patch. Last seen over the weekend claiming a thrilling 3-2 victory against Melbourne Victory, the one-time Crystal Palace striker finds the mood in his camp at a red-hot high. Getting the New Year underway with a 2-1 win away at Macarthur, Adelaide have won each of their previous three appearances by an aggregate score of 7-4. Opening the midweek fixtures leading the chase at the top of the A-League table, Wednesday’s hosts will be looking to lay down another title marker here. In fact, despite signing off 2024 with a 3-2 loss at the hands of Western Sydney, that is the only defeat that Veart’s camp have suffered from any of their 12 A-League showdowns so far this season.
As for the visitors, while Auckland might have only made their A-League debut this season, the Black Knights are enjoying their own remarkable maiden campaign. Getting Wednesday’s showdown underway sat just one-point adrift of their midweek hosts, Steve Corica’s side are pencilled in as a genuine title contender in 2025. Last seen putting in a dominant display as they stormed their way to a 3-0 romp against Melbourne City, the former Sydney boss will be calling on his squad to use that performance as a platform to build on. Signing off 2024 with a 4-1 romp away at Central Coast, have largely impressed with their free-scoring performances in the final third. In fact, the Black Knights have recorded at least a pair of goals in five of their last eight outings. Two sides who find themselves scrapping it out at the top of the A-League table, we are expecting what could be an enjoyable showdown on Wednesday morning.
