Both sides are not very good teams in this league. However, the hosts are in better shape in recent times. They have three consecutive victories. In previous game Adelaide is won 1-3 against weak Central Coast Mariners. Also, we have Melbourne Victory who's is a outsider in this game. Visitors have less potential. They have only 1 victory in this campaign. In any case, this will be tense match for both sides. I think, the hosts will closer to victory. They want to continue to the winning track.

LAWRO'S PREDICTIONSTUESDAY Crystal Palace v Chelsea (18:00 BST)Crystal Palace have lost their past three league games. They have lost four in a row under Roy Hodgson before, in February and March 2018, but I don't see it happening again, despite the fact the Eagles have got nothing to play for.
