Auckland FC vs Adelaide United Prediction and Betting Tips | November 1st 2025

The action continues in round three of the Australian A-League as Auckland FC play host to Adelaide United at the Go Media Stadium on Saturday. Both sides head into the weekend off the back of contrasting results, with the Reds suffering a narrow defeat at the hands of Macarthur.

Jesse Randall's 21st-minute strike fired Auckland to their first win of the new A-League campaign last Saturday when they held on to see out a 1-0 victory over Western Sydney Wanderers on home turf.

Before that, Steve Corica’s men kicked off the league campaign with a goalless draw against Melbourne Victory at the Melbourne Rectangular Stadium on October 18.

Auckland are unbeaten in six of their seven matches across all competitions this season (4W, 2D), with a 2-0 loss against Heidelberg in the Australia Cup semi-finals on August 30 being the exception.

Adelaide United, on the other hand, fell to a 2-1 defeat against Macarthur when the two teams squared off at the Campbelltown Stadium on Monday.

Before that, the Reds kicked off the 2025 A-League campaign with a 2-1 victory over Sydney FC on October 17 courtesy of second-half strikes from Ryan Kitto and Ethan Alagich.

Adelaide United have come into the new season following a first-round exit from the A-League playoffs last term, while Auckland reached the semi-finals before losing 2-1 on aggregate to Melbourne Victory.
