The action is heating up in the National Premier League – SA competition as we head into Round 21, with only two round remaining.
Adelaide Blue Eagles have been relegated, with four sides, Croatia, Cumberland, Adelaide United and Croydon, all mathematically a chance to be relegated.
Adelaide Croatia Raiders vs Campbelltown City
Fri 10 Sep - 7:00PM
Croatian Sports Centre, Gepps Cross
H2H - First Div League (1980-2021)

H2H - First Div League @ CSC (1980-2021)
18 meetings (Croatia 7 wins, Camp 7 wins, Draws 4)
This is a huge match for Croatia, a loss and Cumberland securing at least 1 point, will see the side relegated for the second time in five seasons, something this proud club will be aiming not to achieve. Campbelltown are hanging onto a top six spot, but have the luxury of having a game in hand. They also could finish the season as high as second mathematically.
Croatia last defeated Campbelltown at Croatian Sports Centre in first division league back in R23, 2015.
Adelaide United vs Adelaide Comets

Jack Smith Park, Novar Gardens

11 meetings (Adel Utd 3 wins, Comets 7 wins, Draws 1)
H2H - First Div League @ JSP (1980-2021)
First meeting
A win by Comets will see the side finishing in the top two which provides them with double chance in the Finals Series. Adelaide United not only are playing for relegation survival, but they have a chance to sneak into the Top 6 if they can secure wins in both their remaining matches.
Adelaide City vs South Adelaide
Sat 11 Sep - 3:00PM
Adelaide City Park, Oakden
H2H - First Div League (1980-2021)

5 meetings (Adel City 5 wins)
South Adelaide came away with a huge come from behind 3-2 win over Blue Eagles last week, and are in the box seat to secure a top 6 playoff berth. A win by Adelaide City, and a lose or draw by Comets, will see City secure the Premiership.
South Adelaide have never defeated Adelaide City in first division league competition.
Adelaide Blue Eagles vs Croydon
Sat 11 Sep - 3:00PM
Marden Sports Complex, Marden
H2H - First Div League (1980-2021)

H2H - First Div League @ Marden (1980-2021)
14 meetings (Blue Eagles 5 wins, Croydon 6 wins, Draws 3)
Blue Eagles were relegated for the second time in four seasons, after their shock 3-2 loss at South Adelaide last weekend after leading 2-0. Croydon can still mathematically get relegated, but they also have a good chance in securing a top 6 finals spot.
Sturt Lions vs Cumberland United
Sat 11 Sep - 3:00PM
West Beach Centre
H2H - First Div League (1980-2021)
1 meeting (Sturt 1 win)
H2H - First Div League @ WBC (1980-2021)
First Meeting
Another big match up this weekend, with Cumberland looking to cause an upset which will allow them to secure NPLSA status for season 2022. Sturt had a huge away victory midweek over Campbelltown City, and are a chance to finish in third spot which secures them a home finals match.
Adelaide Olympic vs MetroStars
Sat 11 Sep - 6:00PM
Parks Football Centre
H2H - First Div League (1980-2021)
23 meetings (Olympic 6 wins, MetroStars 15 wins, Draws 2)
H2H - First Div League @ Parks (1980-2021)
5 meetings (Olympic 3 wins, MetroStars 2 wins)
Despite sitting in seventh spot, Olympic have a higher chance in finishing in a finals position as they have a game in hand, so a victory over MetroStars will go a long way in trying to finish in third spot. MetroStars finally secured a victory midweek over Croydon after being winless in their past five matches, which saw them achieve only two points out of 15, and slipping back to third spot.
