Adelaide United vs Perth Glory Prediction: Both Teams We Want to Start the Year on a Winning Note

Adelaide United and Perth Glory will draw the curtain on round 10 of the Australian A-League when they face off at the Hindmarsh Stadium on Monday (January 2).

This will be their first meeting in 2023, so they will both look to kick off the new year on a high. Below are expert preview and betting tips, coupled with odds.

Newcastle Jets just about saw off the threat of Adelaide United courtesy of a 1-0 win in the sides' encounter at the Coopers Stadium on Tuesday.

Arthur Papas's men opened the scoring in the 25th minute through Jaushua Sotirio, and that turned out to be the all-important moment in a hard-fought contest.

The Reds will enter the new year having gone winless in their last three games and having only collected one point out of a possible nine.

Fifth in the standings with 12 points after nine games, Adelaide is tied with sixth-placed Brisbane Roar for the final slot in the playoffs on the basis of their point totals.

There is not much of a gap between the two teams at this point, as each of their last nine encounters has resulted in four wins for themselves and one draw. The goal that lies ahead is to compete head-to-head against an adversarial group.

In terms of the over/under markets, 5 out of their most recent 7 matches have finished with at least three goals being scored. This suggests that the over/under will probably be hit at some point. BTTS results have been seen in 6 of their last 7 fixtures.

Last weekend's match against Wellington Phoenix finished in a 1-1 tie for the Perth Glory, extending their unbeaten streak to four games. The Glory have been dominant in front of their home crowd, but they have lost their last three matches away from home, scoring just once while allowing seven goals to be scored against them.

Even though they have a game in hand, Perth are now in last place in the A-League table with only seven points after eight matches played. Taking a look at their recent form, we can see that Perth Glory have conceded goals in six of their previous six matches, with their opponents scoring a total of ten goals. In defence, Perth Glory could definitely benefit from some additional reinforcements. Perth Glory have not been able to secure a win away from home against Adelaide United in either of the last two league encounters between the two teams.

They have not been victorious in any of their away league games in the last three that they have played.

In terms of the over/under markets, their most recent 3 of their 5 matches have resulted in at least three goals being scored. Also, 3 of the fixtures resulted in the BTTS.

Since their 3-0 triumph against Melbourne Victory in November, Adelaide has gone winless in their previous three matches, recording one draw and suffering two defeats in that span. They will come into Monday's match looking to end their winless streak. The Perth club has failed to win any of their last three games played away from home, and they have collected just three points from their six road contests so far this campaign.

Adelaide has a better record in the fixture, boasting a superior record of 23 wins out of the last 53 times the two sides have competed against one another.

During that time period, Perth has amassed 18 victories, while there have been 12 occasions on which the wins were split. The Reds have won three consecutive games against Perth, and out of their previous four matchups against them, they have compiled a record of three victories, and one tie.
