A rested Canberra could be lethal | TWG

Adelaide United enter this weekend as the only side yet to notch up a win this campaign after they went down to Melbourne Victory 4 - 0. While for Canberra United they will want to continue their good form after a weeks rest.
It's been a tough start to Season Three for Adelaide and the Lady Reds cannot buy a win at the moment. Once again, the final score line does not provide us with a good indication as to how the game actually played out, given that Adelaide United had better chances in the first half.
United players Selin Kuralay and Donna Cockayne came awfully close to opening the scoring early on, however couldn't convert their chances to goals. This seems to be the ultimate problem for The Lady Reds this season, and it will have to be rectified this week against Canberra if they would like to shift out of last place!
Canberra United defender Caitlin Cooper will look to ensure that Adelaide don't succeed in their mission for early goals this Saturday, as she stands strong in their way at centre back. She may even fancy herself up the other end this game, considering she scored Canberra’s only goal in last week’s 1-1 draw with Melbourne Victory.
Canberra United lead this head to head narrowly, however, Adelaide United have demonstrated in the past that they can cause plenty of problems for unsuspecting Green Machine.
