BLUFFER'S GUIDE
What a stunning turnaround from Adelaide United!
After failing to win one of their opening eight matches, the Reds have strung 12 games together without loss and could finish the weekend on top of the Hyundai A-League depending on results.
If Guillermo Amor's team can knock off Brisbane Roar on Saturday and Western Sydney Wanderers fail to beat Perth Glory on Friday, Adelaide will top the table with six matches remaining before finals.
After Adelaide wowed the A-League with free-flowing attacking football under Josep Gombau last season, the club's second consecutive Spanish coach has made the team slightly more pragmatic.
Adelaide are structured in defence and are finding goals from all areas of the pitch at the moment, exemplified by Bruce Kamau's late strike to defeat Melbourne Victory 1-0 last week.
Brisbane have a great record at Coopers Stadium - 10 wins in 17 matches - including six wins on their past eight trips to South Australia.
