Saturday will mark the second meeting between last year’s Grand Finalists this season, following the Wanderers’ 2-1 win at Coopers Stadium in Round 2.

Both sides come into the match following midweek Asian Champions League football in China; the Wanderers went down 5-1 to Shanghai SIPG on Tuesday night, while Adelaide were defeated 2-1 by Jiangsu Sainty on Wednesday night.

Last week in the Hyundai A-League, both the Wanderers and Adelaide suffered Round 21 defeats; the Wanderers being pipped 2-0 by the Glory in Perth and Adelaide losing 2-1 to Melbourne Victory at AAMI Park.

It’s a must-win clash for both outfits, with the sixth-placed Wanderers looking to cement themselves in the top six and the tenth-placed Adelaide aiming to keep their slim finals hopes alive.
