Following their win in the Kiwi derby last weekend, Auckland FC are beginning to stretch away from the chasing pack in the A-League and they look to have one hand on the regular season trophy.
The gap is now 8 points to Adelaide United, who have lost two on the spin in second place, whilst Western United and both Melbourne clubs have plenty of ground to make up in the coming weeks.
Cracking the top 6 is the priority for the likes of Sydney FC and Macarthur, whilst the picture continues to get worse for Brisbane Roar down at the bottom of the pack.

A-League Round 20 Predictions
—
Wellington Phoenix vs Melbourne City
Wellington Phoenix ($4.00)
Melbourne City ($1.90)
Draw ($3.75)
It has been a campaign to forget for Wellington Phoenix, who continue to languish down at the bottom of the A-League table and Melbourne City are their next challengers here.
Phoenix have lost their last two and are winless in their last 4 games, with a late playoff push perhaps the only modicum of optimism they can generate currently.
Melbourne City picked up a decent point against cross-city rivals Melbourne Victory last time out and they remain in the hunt to finish inside the top 6.
This won’t be as comfortable as the odds suggest but Melbourne City should manage to win this one on the road.
Betting tip: Melbourne City to win the match ($1.90)
Melbourne City to win 2-1
Use Code: 'GOBET500'Central Coast Mariners vs Western United
Central Coast Mariners ($3.60)
Western United ($2.05)
Draw ($3.80)
Champions Central Coast have endured a campaign to forget and Western United will be out to inflict further misery on them here.
Mariners continue to toil down in 10th and are winless in their last 5 games, with confidence in the camp currently looking wafer thin.
Western United meanwhile climbed up to 3rd following a good win over Adelaide United last weekend and they will be fancying their chances here.
Another game that could be closer than many people think but Western United look very well placed to take all three points from this one.
Betting tip: Western United to win the match ($2.05)
Western United to win 3-1
Use Code: 'GOBET500'Auckland FC vs Adelaide United
Auckland FC ($1.91)
Adelaide United ($4.10)
Draw ($4.00)
The top two teams in the A-League table meet here, as Auckland FC host Adelaide United.
For the hosts, picking up wins, regardless of the opposition is key currently and they have a healthy 8-point gap to Adelaide in 2nd place ahead of this one.
Adelaide United meanwhile succumbed to a painful loss to Western United last time out and they will want to respond here.
Calling this one is tough but Auckland FC are going well at home, and they should pick up all three points.
Betting tip: Auckland FC to win the match ($1.91)
Auckland FC to win 2-1
Use Code: 'GOBET500'Brisbane Roar vs Melbourne Victory
Brisbane Roar ($4.00)
Melbourne Victory ($1.85)
Draw ($4.20)
Bottom side Brisbane Roar will be looking to upset the form book in this one, as they take on Melbourne Victory.
Roar have struggled all season, particularly to find ways to break sides down and they only have 6 points on the board as a result.
Melbourne Victory sit 4th and are in decent nick, with just one loss from their last 5 games.
On paper, this should be a comfortable afternoon for Melbourne Victory, and they should manage to pick up all three points here.
Betting tip: Melbourne Victory to win the match ($1.85)
Melbourne Victory to win 3-0

Macarthur FC ($3.50)
Sydney FC ($2.10)
Draw ($4.00)
The race to finish inside the top 6 intensifies again here, with Macarthur FC taking on Sydney FC in a big game for both sides.
Macarthur sit 8th, with just one win from their last 5 games but their strong start to the campaign is proof that they have credentials to beat anybody on their day.
Sydney FC meanwhile sit one place higher in 7th and inconsistency has blighted their season, with a draw against Perth Glory their latest example of their lack of cutting edge.
This one could well be tight, and a draw feels like the most plausible prediction.
Betting tip: The match to finish as a draw ($4.00)
1-1 Draw
Use Code: 'GOBET500'Western Sydney Wanderers vs Perth Glory
Western Sydney Wanderers ($1.48)
Perth Glory ($6.25)
Draw ($5.10)
Two wins on the spin have pushed Western Sydney Wanderers back up into the top 6 and they will be looking to stay there, as they take on Perth Glory.
Wanderers are the joint-highest scorers in the division but their issues with clean sheets are often their Achillies Heel.
Perth Glory meanwhile continue to languish down at the foot of the table, but they did pick up a good point against Sydney FC last time out.
This feels like a big one for both sides, with Western Sydney Wanderers most likely to take all three points.
Betting tip: Western Sydney Wanderers to win the match ($1.48)
