When Brisbane Roar arrive at Hindmarsh Stadium, Andy Morris can see John Kosmina's transformation of Adelaide United being put firmly under the microscope.

The sides performances have been fairly even over their past meetings -- Adelaide edge the all-time record with eight wins to six -- but October 28 is not a date any Reds fans will want to remember.

That was when Brisbane reached seventh heaven during a 7-1 dismantling of the Reds at Suncorp Stadium, with Besart Berisha scoring four goals.

That does seem like a different era -- well, it was at least a different calendar year -- and Adelaide go into this one on the back of three unbeaten games.

The Reds have won their last two, including a very impressive 3-1 win over Melbourne Heart on Big Wednesday.

The Roar have steadied the ship a little of late, though their 3-3 draw in Perth was described as "cowardly" by coach Ange Postecoglou.

Brisbane hope to get as many of their injured trio -- James Meyer, Henrique and Thomas Broich -- as fit as possible. In opposition, United are likely to be unchanged unless former captain Jon McKain overcomes knee soreness.

Reds fans will be extra keen for revenge after their October hammering, and there's every chance Kosmina will keep his hero status intact.

In match odds betting, Adelaide are 3.5 and Brisbane 2.1.
