Auckland FC have surged back to the top of the A-League table over the past couple of games and the debutants are showing no sign of slowing just yet.
They have a decent gap to the likes of Adelaide United and Macarthur FC below them, whilst both Melbourne sides have dropped off the pace recently, with some poor showings.
Down at the bottom of the table, both Brisbane Roar and Perth Glory do look to be in danger of being cut adrift already but there is plenty of football to be played between now and the end of the season.

A-League Round 16 Predictions
—
Brisbane Roar vs Western Sydney Wanderers
Brisbane Roar ($2.80)
Western Sydney Wanderers ($2.40)
Draw ($3.80)
Bottom side Brisbane Roar have a mountain to climb if they are to turn their A-League campaign around this season, but they will be looking to start here against Western Sydney Wanderers.
Roar picked up their first win of the campaign last time out and that result could prove as a bit of a catalyst for them moving forwards.
Meanwhile, Western Sydney Wanderers have been blighted by inconsistency again this season and sit 8th, with just one win from their last 5 games.
This feels like a big one for both sides and not losing it may end up being more important than winning it, making a draw the best prediction.
Betting tip: The match to finish as a draw ($3.80)
1-1 Draw
Auckland FC vs Macarthur FC
Auckland FC ($1.83)
Macarthur FC ($4.33)
Draw ($3.95)
A big game at the top of the A-League table lies in wait here, as Auckland FC take on Macarthur FC, with both sides eying top spot.
The Kiwi’s have been the story of the A-League so far, flying high at the top of the tree and the look able to deal with the bumps in the road they will inevitably face in the top flight.
Macarthur FC meanwhile are a much more mature side this term and they are beginning to dream of a title bid of their own.
Both of these sides are in decent form, but Auckland FC have been very good at home this term and they should get over the line.
Betting tip: Auckland FC to win the match ($1.83)
Auckland FC to win 3-1
Sydney FC vs Adelaide United
Sydney FC ($2.35)
Adelaide United ($2.75)
Draw ($4.00)
Sydney FC and Adelaide United meet here, with both sides looking to engineer a path up the table over the coming weeks.
Three games without a win has checked the progress of Sydney FC somewhat but they remain a serious force in every game that they play.
Adelaide United meanwhile could catch Auckland FC at the top of the table if they win their game in hand and their goal threat this term makes them candidates to go all the way.
This should be an entertaining game, between two good sides and a draw may be on the cards.
Betting tip: The match to finish as a draw ($4.00)
2-2 Draw
Central Coast Mariners vs Newcastle Jets
Central Coast Mariners ($1.95)
Newcastle Jets ($3.90)
Draw ($3.70)
Central Coast Mariners have endured a season to forget this term, but they take on Newcastle Jets here, in an important game for both sides.
Sat down in 10th place is not where defending champions Central Coast would want to be, but they have lost just one of their last 5 games and are showing small signs of improvement.
Newcastle Jets remain one of the great enigmas in A-League football, capable of any result on any given day and they could cause an upset here.
However, Central Coast are normally strong at home and with local rivalry at stake, this could be an important win for the Mariners.
Betting tip: Central Coast Mariners to win the match ($1.95)
Central Coast Mariners to win 2-1
Perth Glory vs Melbourne Victory
Perth Glory ($7.00)
Melbourne Victory ($1.45)
Draw ($5.10)
Having snapped their losing streak last weekend, Melbourne Victory will be eager to build some consistency over the coming games, as they travel to Perth Glory.
The hosts sit 12th in the A-League table, languishing with just 9 points and they frequently find the going in this division too hot to handle.
Melbourne Victory meanwhile will be looking to start building confidence once again in their overall play and they are strong favourites in this one.
It could be tight, but Melbourne Victory need three points and should get them on the road here.
Betting tip: Melbourne Victory to win the match ($1.45)
Melbourne Victory to win 3-1
