The rollercoaster at the top of the A-League table continues, with Adelaide United now the team to beat at the top of the tree and Auckland FC and Melbourne City leading the charge in behind.
Elsewhere, Western United are keeping pace, whilst Macrthur FC, Melbourne Victory and Sydney FC appear to be struggling for form and consistency of late.
Down at the bottom of the table, Brisbane Roar managed to pick up their first win of the season last time out, closing the gap on fellow strugglers Perth Glory and Newcastle Jets above them.

A-League Round 15 Predictions
—
Melbourne Victory vs Sydney FC
Melbourne Victory ($2.15)
Sydney FC ($3.10)
Draw ($3.95)
Two sides out of form compete here, as Melbourne Victory host Sydney FC, with both teams looking to force their way back into the top 6.
Victory had been going well this term before a disastrous recent run has seen them fall off the pace in the title race significantly.
Sydney FC had looked to have turned a corner before getting their wings clipped by Brisbane Roar, in one of the shocks of last weekend and they need to respond here.
This should be a good game, and both sides may settle for a draw.
Betting tip: The match to finish as a draw ($3.95)
1-1 Draw
Wellington Phoenix vs Central Coast Mariners
Wellington Phoenix ($2.75)
Central Coast Mariners ($2.65)
Draw ($3.40)
Wellington Phoenix and Central Coast Mariners finished as the top two sides in the A-League last season but that feels a very long way off now.
Phoenix have made tough work of most of the campaign and are looking to start building some momentum heading into the new year
Central Coast meanwhile have really struggled in defence of their title and this trip to New Zealand won’t be an easy one.
There isn’t much to split these two sides and a draw could be on the cards here.
Betting tip: The match to finish as a draw ($3.40)
1-1 Draw
Newcastle Jets vs Perth Glory
Newcastle Jets ($1.65)
Perth Glory ($5.50)
Draw ($3.60)
The bottom of the A-League table is beginning to look a little congested and the Newcastle Jets and Perth Glory are very much part of that.
For the Jets, this is a huge game, as they look to stretch away from both Glory and Brisbane Roar below them and push up the table.
Perth Glory meanwhile are way off the pace as things stand and with one win on the card all season, this one looks tough.
Neither side is in good nick here, but Newcastle should manage to come out on top at home and collect an important win.
Betting tip: Newcastle Jets to win the match ($1.65)
Newcastle Jets to win 3-1
Macarthur FC vs Melbourne City
Macarthur FC ($3.25)
Melbourne City ($1.95)
Draw ($3.50)
Macarthur FC are looking to keep pace at the top of the A-League table, and they host one of the pace setters here in Melbourne City.
For the hosts Macarthur, a playoff push would certainly represent a decent season, particularly after a strong start to the campaign.
Melbourne City meanwhile slipped up last weekend, a result that could prove costly further down the line and they will want to bounce back here.
Fine margins should define this one and perhaps Melbourne City have the superior side in key areas.
Betting tip: Melbourne City to win the match ($1.95)
Melbourne City to win 2-1
Western Sydney Wanderers vs Auckland FC
Western Sydney Wanderers ($2.25)
Auckland FC ($2.85)
Draw ($3.60)
Two sides hoping to kick on during the second half of the campaign meet here, as Western Sydney Wanderers host Auckland FC.
Wanderers are on the cusp in the A-League table, still plugging away and they have such quality that they seemingly have to become more consistent sooner rather than later.
Auckland FC are struggling to maintain their incredible start of the season form, and this should be a great chance for them to get back on track.
There is very little to split these sides on paper and a draw could well be the outcome.
Betting tip: The match to finish as a draw ($3.60)
1-1 Draw
Western United vs Central Coast Mariners
Western United ($2.10)
Central Coast Mariners ($3.80)
Draw ($3.50)
Champions Central Coast Mariners get their second outing of the game week, as they travel to Western United, in what should be a good game.
United are ticking along in the A-League at the moment and their home form will be particularly encouraging.
Central Coast are a side struggling but the defending champions remain a force to be reckoned with on their day.
This will be an entertaining one, with Western United perhaps being fresher when it matters here.
Betting tip: Western United to win the match ($2.10)
Western United to win 2-1
