Adelaide United have extended their unbeaten run to 10 matches with coach Carl Veart hailing the team's consistency.

"They have that belief and you can see that out there.

In the A-League, Adelaide United will host Wellington Phoenix on Friday at the Hindmarsh Stadium.

In three of their last four league games, the hosts have scored four goals each. Additionally, in five of their last seven league games, they have scored at least three goals. In that time, the hosts have only won one game, and four of those games have ended in draws. In these encounters, the hosts hold a lead of 18-11, and 13 games have ended in draws. They haven’t scored in their last two visits to the Hindmarsh Stadium, which is interesting. In recent games, the hosts’ form has improved, as evidenced by their back-to-back victories of 4-2.
