Final score
Adelaide United 4
Brisbane Roar 3
Adelaide United take on Brisbane Roar in Round 17 A-League action. Join The Roar for live scores and commentary from 7:50pm (AEDT).
The Reds picked up four points last week, with a come from behind win against the Mariners and a dull draw with Perth Glory in the west. It was another pleasing week for Marco Kurz and his men.
The attacking issues they appeared to be experiencing have lessened with George Blackwood and Ken Ilso providing something of a focus point up front.
This allows Nikola Mileusnic and Craig Goodwin to play a little wider and not feel like the primary avenues to goal.
They are providers and with Ben Halloran also sniffing around opposition boxes, an Adelaide team that creates chances from the flanks using their speed and agility is a dangerous proposition for any A-League defence.
The signing of Jordy Thomassen will further improve the situation when he eventually makes his debut.
Brisbane had another less than pleasing week. With only one game on the schedule, they should have started well against the Wanderers and made life difficult for the visitors.
Instead they played poorly, despite grabbing a point after two late goals levelled things up at 2-2.
It was another stunning capitulation for the Wanderers rather than any sparkling play from Brisbane, yet tonight they climb back on the horse with another chance for victory against the in-form Reds in Adelaide.
In team news, Mirko Boland comes back in for the home side and in a much-needed boost for the visitors Thomas Kristensen, Jacob Pepper, Eric Bautheac and Matt McKay all return.
Prediction
I cannot see anything but a home victory in this one. Adelaide look to be building well and Brisbane seem destined for the wooden spoon this season.
Nothing about this match suggests that the northerners will be able to topple the Reds today.
