    Adelaide United will be looking to bounce back from their first loss of the A-League season when they host Wellington Phoenix at Hindmarsh Stadium this afternoon. We’ll have live scores from 5.30pm AEDT.

    Adelaide came crashing back to earth somewhat last weekend in an uninspiring 2-1 loss to bitter rivals Melbourne Victory at Etihad Stadium.

    It has undoubtedly been a good start for John Kosmina’s men after opening the season with wins against Newcastle and Western Sydney, but the even nature of the competition means things can change pretty quickly.

    Things won’t be any easier this afternoon. Wellington travel across having picked up a win and two draws from their opening three, and looked good in their 1-1 draw against the Roar last weekend.

    This might just be the best Wellington Phoenix side we have seen in the A-League, and they’ll get another chance to underline their credentials this afternoon.

    The big question mark with the black and yellow has always been their away form. Travelling with a side decimated by international duty, the Phoenix dug in admirably at AAMI Park against the Heart a fortnight ago and Ricki Herbert will be hoping for a similiar effort here.

    The Reds will be aided by the return of hitmen Sergio van Dijk and Bruce Djite, while for the Phoenix Andrew Durante will return to partner Ben Sigmund at the heart of their defence.

    This one could go either way. Despite last weekend, Adelaide United have looked reasonably good and could get the job done here, but if the Phoenix turn up to play they might very well leave with some points.
