Preview:
Melbourne responded to a pair of disappointing losses between Christmas and New Year’s with a commanding 14-point win over the Hawks last week. United still has plenty of ground to make up in the standings however, as Dean Vickerman’s side still sits three games out of first place.
The 36ers are also running out of time to close the gap on the fourth-place Taipans. Only a game separates the pair at time of publish, but with Adelaide struggling to string together back-to-back wins, it’s safe to call this one a must-win game.
Unfortunately for Adelaide Melbourne has proven too much to handle in recent times. The 36ers have lost four straight games to United dating back to December 2018, lending itself to Adelaide opening as underdogs at home.
The 36ers have won only two of their five games as the home underdog over the last 12 months, while Adelaide is also 1-4 in this scenario against Melbourne. Anytime you can get United at this kind of price it’s worth taking on, so back United to win outright.
Tip: Melbourne United at $1.72
