On July 31, the Australian Cup will feature four matches, including the clash between Blacktown City and Adelaide United. DailySports analysts have provided their betting odds for this encounter.
Blacktown City While Blacktown City competes in the NLP league rather than the top-tier Australian league, they currently hold the fourth position, trailing the third place by tiebreakers. In their last match, Blacktown City secured a 3-0 victory over Sydney Wanderers. At home, they have been strong, with nine wins from 13 games, alongside one draw and three losses. However, their prospects in the national cup are challenging, as they face a team from Australia’s top division in the first round.
Adelaide United Adelaide United had a disappointing season last year, finishing in eighth place, which meant they missed out on the playoffs. The team hasn’t played any friendly matches during the summer break, leaving them without official games for three months. This lack of match fitness could impact their performance. Despite facing a lower-tier team, Adelaide United must remain focused to avoid an early exit from the national cup.
Match Facts and Head-to-Head Historically, these two teams have never faced each other. Blacktown City is currently on a four-match unbeaten streak, having earned 10 points in those games. The bookmakers’ odds are as follows: Blacktown City to win (W1) at 6.5, Draw (X) at 5, Adelaide United to win (W2) at 1.37.
Prediction With teams of differing levels, Adelaide United is considered the favorite due to their higher standing. However, Blacktown City’s recent form and consistent performance at home make them a competitive opponent. Given the uncertainty surrounding Adelaide United’s form, a bet on both teams scoring could be a sensible choice.
