Only a single point separates fifth-placed Adelaide and sixth-placed City on the ladder and with just three rounds remaining a defeat would be a huge blow to either side’s desire to host a home Elimination Final.These two sides boast nearly identical for and against columns, sharing the same 29 goals conceded, while City (32) have scored one more than the Reds (31).Given their records, the high-stakes pressure and the measured, gritty approach often favoured by both sides it almost guarantees the clash at AAMI Park will be an almighty arm-wrestle.
