Adelaide United vs Melbourne Victory Prediction
Three of the Reds' four league wins have come at home. They emerged 3-0 winners in November and are the favourites at home.
The Boys in Blue, meanwhile, have suffered four defeats in their last five games and might struggle again. As both teams have been in poor form recently, a low-scoring draw could ensue.
