Wellington Phoenix vs Adelaide United Prediction and Betting Tips ... (Sportskeeda)

Wellington Phoenix will entertain Adelaide United at the Wellington Regional Stadium in their A-League campaign opener on Sunday (October 9).

Given the recent results in this fixture, Adelaide should eke out a narrow win. Adelaide, meanwhile, finished fourth in the league last season, ending their campaign with a five-game winning run. Wellington are unbeaten at home since 2018, when Adelaide beat them 3-1. They beat Melbourne City in the Round of 16 but fell to a 2-0 defeat against Macarthur. The hosts finished sixth in the league last season, a respectable finish given their poor goalscoring and defensive record. - The two teams have crossed paths 40 times across competitions.

Reds deny Nix with late ALM equaliser (The West Australian)

Ben Halloran has scored a late equaliser for Adelaide United in the A-League Men's clash with Wellington Phoenix.

"We just couldn't move the ball quick enough. He has something and we'll just drip feed him in and give him little bits of opportunity here and there," Veart said. "We're not always going to agree with what the decisions are on the park. "Still very young, still very raw ... we just move on." Toure, 16, is the the younger brother of Olyroos forward Al Hassan Toure, 22, and Mohamed Toure, 18, who swapped the Reds for a stint in France in the off-season.

Ten-man Phoenix denied at the death by Adelaide (New Zealand Herald)

The Phoenix were forced to settle for a point after Ben Waine's strike was cancelled out.

But Adelaide ended the match in total ascendancy and some shaky set-piece defending cost the hosts in the final moments. The Phoenix had enjoyed few spells of positive possession with 11 men, as a much-changed starting lineup understandably took time to gel. Oli Sail made a couple of comfortable saves as the second half followed the pattern established before the break. The Pole was withdrawn a short time later as Wellington's personnel on the pitch began to look closer to last season, and Waine soon struck what the Phoenix thought was the winner. The Phoenix were unable to employ their typical passing game and were instead content to hit on the counter, with new striker Oskar Zawada proving effective at that tactic to create but squander a rare opening. The Phoenix at that stage had already allowed Adelaide to take command of the match and the visitors' control only strengthened against a short-handed opposition.

Reds draw 1-1 with Phoenix - Adelaide United (Adelaide United)

Ben Halloran's late equaliser ensured Adelaide United left Sky Stadium with a point against ten-man Wellington.

Just seconds after his arrival, Wellington went ahead, before Goodwin and Halloran combined to spare the Reds’ blushes in front of a crowd of 8,325. The Brazilian spent just 25 minutes on the pitch – the quickest dismissal of any debutant in Australian national league history – for his reckless lunge on Javi Lopez. As if embarrassed to trail an outnumbered side, the Reds lifted, and their pressure finally told in injury time, with Halloran – back in a Reds jersey after his brief stint in South Korea – sidefooting in Craig Goodwin’s corner to split the points.
