Chasing down Auckland FC at the very top of the A-League table remains the key objective for all in the division but the new boys are showing no sign of wilting just yet.
Macarthur FC and Adelaide United are best placed to lay down the gauntlet to Auckland but consistency appears to be lacking from most sides in the A-League currently, with both Melbourne sides falling into that bracket too.
2025 is a fresh opportunity for all sides to revitalise their respective campaigns and the likes of Brisbane Roar and Perth Glory will be chasing inspiration from the turn of the calendar.
There is no sign of the drama laying up in the new year and here are our A-League tips for the next round of fixtures in the 2024/25 season, and you can join the action with the best betting sites Australia has to offer!

A-League Round 12 Predictions
—
Melbourne City vs Wellington Phoenix
Melbourne City ($1.80)
Wellington Phoenix ($4.20)
Draw ($4.20)
Two sides hoping to force their way into the title, or even the playoff picture meet here, as Melbourne City host Wellington Phoenix.
City haven’t been at their best this season but there have been glimpses in recent weeks that they are returning to their best and they are always tough to beat at home.
Wellington Phoenix have endured a quiet start to the 2024/25 campaign, but they have some great personnel in their ranks and plenty of time to turn things around.
The odds seem a touch out of sync here, but Melbourne City should prevail at home.
Betting tip: Melbourne City to win the match ($1.80)
Melbourne City to win 2-1
Use Code: 'GOBET500'Brisbane Roar vs Central Coast Mariners
Brisbane Roar ($2.45)
Central Coast Mariners ($2.90)
Draw ($3.50)
Bottom side Brisbane Roar have been abject in the A-League this season and they have a chance to turn the tide in this one, as they take on defending champions Central Coast Mariners.
Roar have been way off the pace, struggling at both ends of the pitch and something needs to change quickly if they are to avoid the wooden spoon.
Central Coast meanwhile are a side in flux, having won the title in each of the last 2 seasons but confidence in the camp looks low currently.
Neither side is in rampant form ahead of this one but perhaps Central Coast should sneak it on merit.
Betting tip: Central Coast Mariners to win the match ($2.90)
Central Coast Mariners to win 2-1
Use Code: 'GOBET500'Perth Glory vs Western United
Perth Glory ($4.33)
Western United ($1.80)
Draw ($4.00)
Another side in freefall are Perth Glory and they will be eager to get back on track here, as they take on Western United.
Glory have just one win on the card this season and sit 12th, just a place above lowly Brisbane Roar down at the foot of the table.
Western United endured a rough start to the season but three wins on the spin coming into this one should give them a huge boost.
United will want to get the ball down and play and if they can do that, three more points look to be incoming.
Betting tip: Western United to win the match ($1.80)
Western United to win 3-1
Use Code: 'GOBET500'Newcastle Jets vs Sydney FC
Newcastle Jets ($4.00)
Sydney FC ($1.80)
Draw ($4.40)
Inconsistency continues to blight the hopes of both Newcastle Jets and Sydney FC, and they meet here in an intriguing New South Walian derby.
The Jets are simply impossible to predict, as the only side to have beaten Auckland FC this season but having picked up plenty of poor defeats along the way too.
Two wins and two losses from their last 5 games played tell punters exactly where Sydney FC are at this term too and form is at an absolute premium.
All three results are in play here and with not much betting form to go off, the draw could be the value bet.
Betting tip: The match to finish as a draw ($4.40)
1-1 Draw
Use Code: 'GOBET500'Melbourne Victory vs Western Sydney Wanderers
Melbourne Victory ($1.70)
Western Sydney Wanderers ($4.50)
Draw ($4.20)
Title chasing Melbourne Victory will be looking to pick up three points here, as they take on Western Sydney Wanderers.
Victory remain hot on the heels of Auckland FC at the top of the tree but have endured some inconsistent results of late and need to iron out their form if they are to challenge for the title.
WSW meanwhile saw their 4 game unbeaten run come to an end last time out and need to bounce back here, with confidence probably low in the camp.
All roads point to a home win here but this one will not be a walk in the park for Melbourne Victory.
Betting tip: Melbourne Victory to win the match ($1.70)
Melbourne Victory to win 2-1
Use Code: 'GOBET500'Macarthur FC vs Adelaide United
Macarthur FC ($2.70)
Adelaide United ($2.40)
Draw ($4.00)
The two sides closest to reeling in Auckland FC at the top of the table meet here, as Macarthur FC host Adelaide United.
Macarthur have snuck up on the ropes in recent weeks and are beginning to look like a side capable of going all the way in the A-League this season.
Adelaide United meanwhile have a very talented squad, and they just need to get everything firing to mount a sustainable title push.
Neither side will want to lose here, making the draw a very realistic possibility for backers.
Betting tip: The match to finish as a draw ($4.00)
