It continues to be all about Auckland FC at the top of the A-League table, as they look to stretch away from the chasing pack once again this weekend.
They now have a 5-point cushion to the sides below them and they are in pole position to pick up the league leaders shield, in their debut campaign.
However, there is heaps of football still to be played and the likes of Adelaide United, Melbourne Victory and Western United are all assembling, in an attempt to chase Auckland down.
Down at the bottom of the table, neither Brisbane Roar or Perth Glory can seem to catch a break and both sides are in wooden spoon territory this term.
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 17 Predictions
—
Wellington Phoenix vs Brisbane Roar
Wellington Phoenix ($2.38)
Brisbane Roar ($3.00)
Draw ($3.50)
It has been a tough campaign for both Wellington Phoenix and Brisbane Roar and as the sides meet here, they will be hoping to engineer a route up the table.
Phoenix started the campaign reasonably well but have picked up just one win in their last 5 games and they find themselves languishing down in 10th place.
Brisbane Roar meanwhile have been the bottom side in the A-League pretty much since the start of the campaign and with just 5 points to their name, it has been a long season so far.
Neither side will be relishing this one, but Wellington are decent enough at home and they should see off Brisbane Roar here.
Betting tip: Wellington Phoenix to win the match ($2.38)
Wellington Phoenix to win 3-1
Use Code: 'GOBET500'Adelaide United vs Melbourne City
Adelaide United ($2.05)
Melbourne City ($3.60)
Draw ($3.80)
Two sides looking to close the gap on high-flying Auckland FC meet here, as Adelaide United host Melbourne City.
United remain in second place in the A-League table but a thumping 4-1 loss at the hands of Sydney FC last weekend will be concerning for them.
Melbourne City meanwhile have hit a serious bump in the road, losing their last two games and they look to have a job to do if they are to force their way back into title contention.
There is very little between these sides on paper and this could turn out to be an entertaining draw in South Australia.
Betting tip: The match to finish as a draw ($3.80)
2-2 Draw
Use Code: 'GOBET500'Perth Glory vs Central Coast Mariners
Perth Glory ($3.20)
Central Coast Mariners ($2.15)
Draw ($3.75)
Perth Glory are still a side very much in the doldrums and they take on champions Central Coast Mariners here, who too have endured a rough campaign.
Glory sit 12th in the table, having amassed only 9 points this season and they have work to do if they are to climb up the table in any capacity.
Central Coast meanwhile are a side seeking consistency but having not lost their last 4 games, they will be feeling as if a run of form could come together.
Another good game beckons but Central Coast should have enough about them to prevail here.
Betting tip: Central Coast Mariners to win the match ($2.15)
Central Coast Mariners to win 3-1
Use Code: 'GOBET500'Newcastle Jets vs Melbourne Victory
Newcastle Jets ($4.33)
Melbourne Victory ($1.85)
Draw ($3.90)
Melbourne Victory will be looking to keep pace in the A-League title race, as they travel to Newcastle Jets, in what should be an intriguing one.
The Jets haven’t been at their best this season but picked up a decent point at Central Coast Mariners last time out and will look to build on that here.
Two wins on the spin have given Melbourne Victory a much-needed boost coming into this one and they could be timing their run to perfection.
This should be a very good one, which Melbourne Victory could end up pinching all three points from.
Betting tip: Melbourne Victory to win the match ($1.85)
Melbourne Victory to win 2-1
Use Code: 'GOBET500'Sydney FC vs Western Sydney Wanderers
Sydney FC ($1.70)
Western Sydney Wanderers ($4.75)
Draw ($4.50)
The Sydney derby dominates the agenda this week, as both sides look to build on good wins last time out.
Sydney FC hammered Adelaide United and have climbed up to 5th as a result and they are keeping a keen eye on things unfolding above them, as they look to get into the title mix.
Western Sydney Wanderers meanwhile dug deep to overcome Brisbane Roar on the road last time out and they will be eager to build on that here.
This should be a good one, with more than local pride at stake, with Sydney FC perhaps most likely to pick up all three points.
Betting tip: Sydney FC to win the match ($1.70)
Sydney FC to win 2-1
Use Code: 'GOBET500'Macarthur FC vs Western United
Macarthur FC ($2.35)
Western United ($3.00)
Draw ($3.90)
Two more sides looking to get into the title mix meet here, as Macarthur FC host Western United.
Macarthur have dropped down to 6th following a couple of poor results, but they know that a couple of wins would push them back into the mix for the title.
Western United meanwhile have climbed to 4th, following 3 games unbeaten and this feels like a chance to make a statement.
This will be tight, and both sides may end up settling for a draw in this one.
Betting tip: The match to finish as a draw ($3.90)
1-1 Draw
