Team News

Dylan Pierias is available for Adelaide United after serving a suspension during their 2-1 defeat at Wellington Phoenix last Saturday. However, he may have to wait for a return to the starting XI, as Panashe Madanha could keep his place at right-back.

Off-season signing Anselmo de Moraes will push for his first minutes of the season, having been named in the Reds’ extended squad for the first time.

Football Odds

Brisbane Roar are missing Ben Halloran (knee), Antonee Burke-Gilroy (foot), Hosine Bility (hamstring), Marcus Ferkranus and Nathan Amanatidis (both quad) due to injury.

Adelaide United vs Brisbane Roar Odds

Three of the last four head-to-heads, including both this calendar year, have ended 1-1. You can back a fourth stalemate in five at 12/5, while another 1-1 scoreline is offered at 6/1.

If you fancy Adelaide United to make it four home wins from four this season, they’re 19/20, implying a 51.3% probability of success, while Brisbane Roar are 12.5, or a 29.4% chance, to claim their first victory over the Reds since December 2023, when they won 2-0 at Coopers.

Match Result And Total Goals Over/Under 3.5 - Adelaide United & Under 3.5 @ 9/5

Brisbane Roar have been brilliant at home this season, winning three and drawing one of their four home games at Suncorp Stadium, but they've picked up just a single point from their two away matches.

Admittedly, that point was a fantastic one away to Auckland FC (1-1), but they were beaten 2-1 at Wellington Phoenix, and now travel to Coopers Stadium, where hosts Adelaide United have won all three contests in 2025/26.

Today's Football Fixtures

The Reds have overcome Sydney FC (2-1), Western Sydney Wanderers (2-0) and Melbourne City (2-0) already on home soil, and they will be desperate to add the Roar to their list of victims after failing to beat them in Adelaide since February 2023, losing the first of the first three games before drawing the next two.

Five of United's six games this season have featured three or fewer goals, while all six of the Roar's matches have gone under 3.5 goals, so that looks like a sensible selection to add with a home win on Sunday.

First Corner Team - Brisbane Roar @ 11/10

Let's go with the visitors to apply some early pressure in Adelaide.

The Roar have taken the first corner in both of their away games this season, winning one in the opening minute against Wellington and the seventh minute against Auckland, conceding one and zero, respectively, in the first half of those matches.

Adelaide took the only first-half corner of their home game against Sydney in the ninth minute, but Western Sydney Wanderers and Melbourne City both earned the opening corner in their next two at Coopers, in the 15th and the third minute, respectively.
