Adelaide United are set to host Western United in Sunday's Elimination Final at Coopers Stadium, with the Reds riding high after locking in third place thanks to a gritty 2-1 triumph over Sydney FC in their regular-season finale.
Fittingly, it was former Sky Blue Fiona Worts who delivered the telling blows, bagging both goals to sink her old club and send Adelaide into the postseason on a high.
Now, the South Australians will chase a historic milestone as they aim to claim their first-ever finals victory in what has already been their most successful A-League Women's campaign to date.
But their path won't be straightforward; Western United arrive as the wildcard outfit, one that can be either dazzling or disastrous depending on the day.
On their day, Western have the firepower to cause any opponent problems, but inconsistency has been their Achilles heel throughout the season.
They'll enter this knockout clash as clear underdogs, but they won't shy away from the challenge and could just spring a surprise.
Adelaide, meanwhile, have dazzled going forward throughout the campaign and will be hoping to have Chelsie Dawber fit in time for the showdown. In-form duo Fiona Worts and Erin Healy will be key once again, with both players expected to play pivotal roles as the Reds look to crown their standout season with a deep finals run.
The Sporting News looks at the key details ahead of this A–League clash, including how to watch the match, kickoff times and all the latest team news.
