An all-time classic between Auckland FC and Adelaide United is still being dissected in the A-League this week but attention turns to the next round of fixtures and the race to be ready for the play-offs.

Things get very tight in behind, with Western Sydney Wanderers and both Melbourne clubs separated by just one point, as they look to push on with their respective play-off bids.

Down at the bottom, Brisbane Roar look to be a spent force in the wooden spoon race and they and the likes of Perth Glory are simply playing for pride this season.

A-League Round 21 Predictions

—

Melbourne City vs Macarthur FC

Melbourne City ($1.65)

Macarthur FC ($5.00)

Draw ($4.50)

Melbourne City look to be timing their run to perfection at the top of the A-League table and they face a stern test here against Macarthur FC.

Unbeaten in their last 3, City have climbed to 5^th in the A-League table and will be looking to kick on with their playoff bid in this one.

Macarthur FC are trending in the opposite direction, winless in their last 4 games and they now have lots of work to do if they are to crack the top 6.

This should be a good one, with Melbourne City going well and they should prevail at home.

Betting tip: Melbourne City to win the match ($1.65)

Adelaide United vs Brisbane Roar

Adelaide United ($1.67)

Brisbane Roar ($4.70)

Draw ($4.75)

It has been a dismal campaign for Brisbane Roar and things don’t look to be getting too much easier for them here, as they travel to South Australia to take on Adelaide United.

Having more than played their part in an epic against Auckland FC last weekend, Adelaide will be looking to take the positives from that result and should be raring to go at home.

Brisbane Roar meanwhile continue to languish at the foot of the table, with just 7 points bagged all season and they have found the going very tough this term.

This should be one-way traffic, with Adelaide United ready to pick up a comfortable home win.

Betting tip: Adelaide United to win the match ($1.67)

Adelaide United to win 3-1

Western United vs Wellington Phoenix

Western United ($1.50)

Wellington Phoenix ($6.50)

Draw ($4.75)

High-flying Western United have snuck under the radar somewhat this term and they will be hoping to keep on doing so here, as they take on Wellington Phoenix.

United sit 2^nd in the table and are the nearest contenders to Auckland FC on paper, with two wins to boast from their last two games too.

Wellington Phoenix remain a bit of an enigma but performances this season have been below par and a playoff bid feels rather ambitious at this late stage.

Pushing on to finish as high as possible will be the motivation for Western United here and they should come out on top in this one.

Betting tip: Western United to win the match ($1.50)

Western United to win 3-0

Melbourne Victory vs Central Coast Mariners

Melbourne Victory ($1.53)

Central Coast Mariners ($6.50)

Draw ($4.50)

Melbourne Victory are also steering their ship into gear when it matters most this term and a meeting with champions Central Coast Mariners awaits.

Victory have been patchy this term but look to have come out the other side of their relative slump and look well placed to kick on into the playoffs.

Central Coast simply can’t seem to catch a break at the moment, are winless in their last 5 games and look to be a side ready to refresh things ahead of next season.

Momentum and confidence is with Melbourne Victory, and they should win well at home here.

Betting tip: Melbourne Victory to win the match ($1.53)

Newcastle Jets vs Auckland FC

Newcastle Jets ($4.10)

Auckland FC ($1.85)

Draw ($4.00)

Table topping Auckland FC succumbed to a rare loss to Newcastle Jets when these two sides met earlier in the campaign, and they will be chasing revenge here.

Newcastle are in good nick though, unbeaten in their last 5 and having won their last 3 and they will be looking to finish the campaign as high up the table as they possibly can.

Auckland FC meanwhile are the standard setters in the A-League currently and there appears to be no stopping them in their quest for the league leaders shield.

This should be a good one, with Auckland ready to show their mettle and pick up an important three points.
