Adelaide City vs Sturt Lions tips and predictions

Sturt Lions huge price to cause the shock

Make no bones about it, Adelaide City are definitely expected to coast to victory but it doesn't feel sensible to back the short price.

The hosts are widely seen as undeniable favourites but it might not be that simple. Adelaide City have been up and down. They've lost 2 of their last 4 matches. They conceded three or more goals in 2 of their last 4 games which lends some additional evidence supporting the upset.

Sturt Lions have been showing what what they are capable of on their day. Totally dismissed by most observers, the visitors might cause a shock here. They've scored at least once in 16 of their last 18 games. To have the slightest chance they'll be desperate to add to that total. Whether they can do that remains to be seen. They have kept a clean sheet in 3 of their last 9 matches.

The sportsbooks have forecasted both sides to get in on the act despite the undeniable favouritism for Adelaide City. It's not a strong view and it might not be that exciting but the BTTS No looks a bit more tempting on this occasion.
