Adelaide United have the chance to boost their top-four hopes when they entertain Western Sydney Wanderers on Saturday.
The Reds lie in fifth place in the A-League ladder after picking up 12 points in nine games, a point behind Melbourne City immediately above them and three behind third-placed Brisbane Roar.
Adelaide snapped a three-game losing streak with a 1-0 win away at Perth Glory last time out, despite finishing that game with 10 men, and they will be out to back it up against a Wanderers’ side on a three-game winless run.
Airton Andrioli’s men have a great record against Western Sydney, winning the last six games and conceding just one goal in the process.
WSW are second bottom in the standings but are only three points behind Adelaide going into this game.

Adelaide United v Western Sydney Wanderers Tips Prediction
Best Bet: Adelaide United To Win to Nil @ 5.50
Adelaide United have dominated Western Sydney Wanderers in recent seasons, winning the last six games on the bounce.
Four of the victories have been away from home, but they have also picked up two at Coopers Stadium, including a 1-0 win this time last year.
The Reds have made Coopers something of a fortress this season, winning three games, and losing one.
Western Sydney on the other hand have yet to win away from home, and it will take a mammoth effort to get the job done.
They have also scored just six goals in nine games, and have scored only one goal in the last six meetings with Adelaide United.
Wanderers have also scored just one goal in the last four A-League games, so it is clear to see where their problems lie.
Adelaide have only failed to score in one game this season, and they can get the job done with the minimum of stress.
Alternative Bet: Under 2.5 goals @ 2.30
Meetings between these two sides have been low scoring in recent seasons.
The last time they met in Adelaide, this time last year, the home side ran out 1-0 winners.
Indeed four of the last six meetings have seen under 2.5 goals scored, while the other two saw three goals scored.
Western Sydney are struggling to score this season, while Adelaide have hardly been prolific with 13 in nine games.
