We said: Adelaide United 3-2 Wellington Phoenix
These two sides posted the worst defensive records in the top six, shipping 91 goals between them throughout the regular season, and with plenty of attacking talent for both teams, that could result in a high-scoring affair. The presence of Zawada in particular will make Wellington believe that they can pull off an upset, but they are underdogs for a reason and we are backing Adelaide to just about come out on top and progress to the semi-finals.
