Adelaide 36ers vs Melbourne United Preview

Both teams are looking to make it two wins on the trot when they meet on Thursday night, but it’s no real surprise to find Melbourne favoured by a comfortable -5.5 points.

United bounced back from their loss to the Wildcats last week with a seven-point win over the Taipans on Monday night, a performance that reminded everybody just how deep Melbourne’s roster runs.

Not that they need it, but Dean Vickerman’s side should be full of confidence heading into this game knowing they already own a 24-point win over this same 36ers side last month.

While Adelaide showed plenty of fight to fend off the Phoenix on Tuesday, this shapes up as an entirely different test against a team they really haven’t fared well against.

In their last 10 meetings, the 36ers have defeated Melbourne only three times – a scary trend after United’s bench just shot over 40% from both three and the field.
