A-League Round 23 Predictions
—
Western Sydney Wanderers vs Brisbane Roar
Western Sydney Wanderers ($2.00)
Brisbane Roar ($3.30)
Draw ($4.00)
Two wins on the spin have propelled the Western Sydney Wanderers up the A-League table into the top 6 and they will be eager to keep the chasing pack at bay here against Brisbane Roar.
WSW endured a rough period through the middle of the campaign, but they look to have come out of the other side of it and they find themselves in 6th place in the table, with their fate in their own hands.
Brisbane Roar meanwhile are trending in the opposite direction and have started to drop off the pace a little in their playoff bid, something that they can address here.
This will be a good game in Sydney, with the hosts most likely to come out on top in front of their home fans.
Betting tip: WSW to win the match ($2.00)
Western Sydney Wanderers to win 3-1
Western United vs Macarthur FC
Western United ($2.10)
Macarthur FC ($3.25)
Draw ($4.00)
Bottom side Western United look to have a job on their hands, as they take on playoff chasing Macarthur FC.
United had won 2 games prior to their last two fixtures, from which they’ve only managed one point and they are in danger of being cut adrift in the wooden spoon race.
Meanwhile, Macarthur FC are a side that look to have the credentials to challenge in the post-season, but their recent results have lacked consistency.
This will be a very close game, but Macarthur FC have momentum with them currently and they should pick up an important away win here.
Betting tip: Macarthur FC to win the match ($3.25)
Macarthur FC to win 2-1
Central Coast Mariners vs Wellington Phoenix
Central Coast Mariners ($1.75)
Wellington Phoenix ($5.00)
Draw ($4.00)
The top two sides in the A-League table square off here, as the Central Coast Mariners take on Wellington Phoenix.
Both sides have found form at crucial stages in the campaign, and they will be looking to suss each other out, with the end of the campaign approaching.
Champions Central Coast endured a blip on the road at Sydney FC last time out but won’t be far away when it matters this season.
Wellington Phoenix meanwhile continue to punch above their weight and they will see this as a complete free hit.
As the league table suggests, there is very little to split these sides and it could well end up being a draw.
Betting tip: The match to finish as a draw ($4.00)
1-1 Draw
Melbourne Victory vs Melbourne City
Melbourne Victory ($2.25)
Melbourne City ($3.00)
Draw ($3.80)
Not for a few years have Melbourne Victory been the favourites heading into a Melbourne derby, but they are very much the side to beat in Melbourne this season.
Victory sit 3rd in the table and have been going well this season but have work to do if they are to catch Wellington Phoenix and Central Coast Mariners above them before the regular campaign is out.
City meanwhile have dropped like a stone this year and clearly have plenty of issues, but they will feel that if they can sneak into the top 6, anything could plausibly happen.
This will be a fiery encounter, with the hosts Melbourne Victory most likely to prevail.
Betting tip: Melbourne Victory to win the match ($2.25)
Melbourne Victory to win 2-1
Newcastle Jets vs Sydney FC
Newcastle Jets ($4.00)
Sydney FC ($1.91)
Draw ($4.00)
The lowly Newcastle Jets are a side in serious need of a win, and they look to have a tough task on their hands next, as they take on Sydney FC.
Sat in 11th place in the table, it has been another campaign to forget for the Jets, as they look to climb away from wooden spoon trouble.
Sydney FC meanwhile are ticking along nicely, following a quiet start to the season and momentum is building in their camp steadily.
This should be a good one, with Sydney FC probably most likely to pick up all three points on the road.
Betting tip: Sydney FC to win the match ($1.91)
Sydney FC to win 2-0
Perth Glory vs Adelaide United
Perth Glory ($2.60)
Adelaide United ($2.60)
Draw ($4.00)
Two sides who look to be playing for pride this season face off here, as Perth Glory take on Adelaide United.
Glory have been battling all season, but they cannot seem to generate any sort of consistency and their young squad will hopefully learn from their experiences next season.
Adelaide United meanwhile have been all over the place at times during this campaign, but they are a team that can turn on the style in an instant.
With that in mind, Adelaide United look good value to pick up all three points on the road here at Perth Glory.
Betting tip: Adelaide United to win the match ($2.60)
Adelaide United to win 2-1
