Adelaide can reach top four

Adelaide United drew with first-placed Perth Glory in Perth, followed by an impressive away win in the end of the game against Central Coast Mariners, coming from behind. Their opponent oppened the scoreline but Isaias and George Blackwood scored the winning goals for Adelaide. Even like this they had their way to get the disarble result an outcome that placed them even higher on table, they are now 5th with 26 points, having 1 point less than 4th-placed Melbourne City. Baba Diawara and Stamatelopoulos are injured. However the 25 years old newcomer attacker Jordy Thomassen from De Graafschap gives hopes in his new team. The upcoming away game is vs Melbourne City, a crucial battle for the top-four places. 

Brisbane Roar registered a second draw in a row and it was a quite surprise for everyone. Their performance vs Sydney Wanderers was absolutely disappointing, but Tobias Mikkelsen and Adam Taggart made the overturn ( 0-2 to 2-2) in a the last minutes. This is a bad year for them. Abraham Papadopoulos returned to Olympiakos. Stefan Mauk will be missing. On the contrary, Jacob Pepper, Éric Bauthéac and the 36 years old team's captain Matt McKay are performing tonight. The upcoming home game is against Sydney.

Adelaide United have a chance to get the points that will bring them closer in the top-4, Brisbane Roar don't have the quality to compete them. Adelaide to win with two or more goals difference will be my call.
