Adelaide and Melbourne meet tomorrow night at Hindmarsh Stadium.

There have been 2 draws out of the 3 games between the two teams played at Adelaide's homeground in the past 2 seasons. I feel that Melbourne is the better of the two teams however Adelaide will have the home advantage and this should level them up a bit more. Melbourne have had 5 draws from their 7 games this season! only now starting to find their shooting boots. The main reason for the amount of draws was the loss of their key attacking Brazillian, Fred. Howevever with Thompson and Allsopp working well together they are strating to score goals, beating Sydney away from home last week and Queensland at home the week before. Adelaide have also had 5 draws! out of their 7 games. Both teams averaging a draw ratio of 71.4% this season, much better than the current odds suggest. In their only game this year, Melbourne drew 1-1 with Adelaide at home.

In terms of the team lineups.. Adelaide are missing a few players, including Bruce Djite and Nathan Burns, the leading goalscorer for the league(Djite), along with Kristian Sarkies who received a callup to the Olyroos.

Melbourne have the edge with Adelaide having quite a few players out, so i will take the safer option of Melbourne +0.5 @1.53. However @3.25 is offered at sportingbet for the draw for the more risk seeking punters.
