A place in the final series playoff is the prize as Western United host Adelaide United in the Australian A-League elimination final. 

The hosts come into this clash in good form and will be keen to capitalize on playing at home. With the visitors looking out of sorts at the moment and also struggling on their travels, a home win is on the cards here.
 

Western United Form


Western United were mostly inconsistent during the regular season but have picked up their form in the last few weeks. They head into this clash with two straight wins, claiming a 1-0 home victory over Sydney FC before a 4-2 triumph over table toppers Auckland.
 
Those two results highlight a solid home record for Western United, who are unbeaten in nine of their last 10 matches at Ironbark Stadium. John Aloisi's team have won the last five fixtures in that run with a 3-0 victory over Adelaide United among their results.
 
Western United have looked sharp in attack lately and three of their last four home matches have produced over 3.5 goals. They also tend to make fast starts and have won the first half in their last five fixtures in front of their fans. 

Adelaide United


While the hosts are showing improvement, Adelaide United appear to be slipping further into their slump. Thomas Veart's team are a long way away from the form that saw them challenge Auckland earlier in the season and have now picked up just one win in their last 11 matches.
 
Adelaide United will head into this clash off the back of a 0-0 draw at Melbourne City in their final regular season fixture. That result is part of a poor record on the road as they are winless in their last seven away matches, suffering four defeats in that run.
 
While Adelaide United have quality going forward, they seem unable to keep things tight at the back, with a 4-4 draw at Auckland and a 5-3 defeat at Melbourne Victory highlighting the issues. This trend has seen five of their last seven matches produce over 3.5 goals.

Head to Head


Adelaide United have the upper hand in this fixture with four wins and a draw from the last seven meetings. Western United have picked up two wins in that run and claimed a 3-0 home victory in the most recent clash back in February.

Verdict

There is a contrast between both teams heading into this clash, with Western United picking up their form in recent weeks while Adelaide United are slipping further into their struggles. The hosts have won their last five home matches and should have the upper hand in Friday’s clash.
 
Western United have won the first half in their last five matches, including February's victory over Adelaide and could be set for a repeat here. Both teams have seen high scoring outcomes in recent weeks and with five of their last eight meetings producing over 3.5 goals, a repeat could be considered here.
