Adelaide United vs Macarthur FC Preview
Just going off the state of the A-League ladder, Adelaide should not be even slightly favoured over Macarthur, let alone $1.78.
But going off recent form, the Reds might actually be decent value at their current price.
They have won their last three matches and played some scintillating football, largely off the back of teen sensation Nestory Irankunda, who bagged a hat-trick in Perth last week.
Heading into March, Macarthur was locked in a fight for a top two finish but three defeats in their last four outings have dropped them to fifth and they are in real danger of missing the finals entirely if their slide continues.
Adelaide might be the ones to capitalise on the Bulls’ slide with a Reds win able to shrink the gap between the two clubs to four points with Carl Veart’s side having a game in hand.
You would think with 23 or 24 games of evidence, we might have an idea about which teams are good and bad, but all we can say for certain is that outside of the top two, every side is only consistent with their inconsistency.
Which means any given week can see an in-form team collapse in a heap, or a struggling side produce a massive turnaround, but based on what we have seen lately, you have to go with the in-form Adelaide team to get the job done at home.
