The final weekend of the 2024/25 A-League season promises to bring plenty of thrills and spills, with heaps still at stake for all involved.
Auckland FC have been the pace setters since the first weekend and with their league leaders shield now secured, they will be desperate to kick on during the post-season.
Melbourne City, Western United, Western Sydney Wanderers and Melbourne Victory have all also booked their places in the playoffs, leaving one spot still unaccounted for,
Adelaide United currently hold that place and a 1-point lead to Sydney FC below them but with United having played all their games, Sydney know a draw would see them over the line in the race for the top 6.
A mini resurgence from Brisbane Roar has seen Perth Glory confined to the wooden spoon once again this season and both clubs will be looking to start their off-season rebuild imminently.
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 29 Predictions
—
Wellington Phoenix vs Perth Glory
Wellington Phoenix ($2.20)
Perth Glory ($3.00)
Draw ($3.90)
Two sides occupying three of the bottom places in the A-League table meet here, as Wellington Phoenix host Perth Glory.
Phoenix sit 11th, with just 24 points to their name and it has been a very tough season for them.
Perth Glory meanwhile sit adrift at the bottom of the pack, with the wooden spoon already confirmed and they will be desperate to pull away from trouble next season.
Calling this one is tough, with neither side likely to be too up for it but Wellington Phoenix could have enough about them to win at home.
Betting tip: Wellington Phoenix to win the match ($2.20)
Wellington Phoenix to win 3-1
Central Coast Mariners vs Brisbane Roar
Central Coast Mariners ($2.88)
Brisbane Roar ($2.35)
Draw ($3.75)
Champions Central Coast Mariners have really struggled to defend their title this season and they will be keen to avoid finishing with a whimper here against Brisbane Roar.
Mariners have limped to 10th place in the table and with just one win in their last 5 games, they are a side low on confidence and seemingly ready for the season to end.
Brisbane Roar meanwhile have picked up 7 points from their last 3 games and are flying, despite being way off the pace down at the foot of the table.
Calling this one is tough but Brisbane Roar perhaps have the momentum and the motivation to pick up a result here.
Betting tip: Brisbane Roar to win the match ($2.35)
Brisbane Roar to win 2-1
Melbourne City vs Sydney FC
Melbourne City ($1.91)
Sydney FC ($4.00)
Draw ($3.75)
Melbourne City and Sydney FC meet in this one, with the visitors needing points in order to finish inside the top 6 and have a crack at the playoffs.
City have improved as the season has progressed and a win in this one would see them secure second place in the end of season table.
Sydney FC have made hard work of cracking the top 6 and now have to avoid defeat here, if they are to be playing post-season football.
Both sides will be eager to avoid defeat here and an entertaining draw could be on the cards.
Betting tip: The match to finish as a draw ($3.75)
1-1 Draw
Western United vs Auckland FC
Western United ($1.97)
Auckland FC ($4.00)
Draw ($3.60)
With Auckland FC having already secured their A-League leaders shield, Western United will be looking to put down a marker here.
United sit 3rd in the table and they will be vying to overtake Melbourne City who are one point and one place above them.
Auckland FC meanwhile have been the benchmark all season in this competition and are absolutely flying, so they won’t fear this challenge.
Calling this one is tough and it could well end up as a high scoring draw.
Betting tip: The match to finish as a draw ($3.60)
2-2 Draw
Macarthur FC vs Western Sydney Wanderers
Macarthur FC ($3.30)
Western Sydney Wanderers ($2.00)
Draw ($4.00)
The race has been run for Macarthur FC this season, who cannot feature in the playoffs, and they have a tough looking home tie with Western Sydney Wanderers here.
Macarthur find themselves in 8th, having endured inconsistency this season and they will be looking to build ahead of next year.
Western Sydney Wanderers meanwhile are going very well indeed, sat 4th in the table and they will be looking to keep their form ticking ahead of the playoffs.
This should be a really good game, with Western Sydney Wanderers the form offering in this one.
Betting tip: Western Sydney Wanderers to win the match ($2.00)
WSW to win 2-1
Melbourne Victory vs Newcastle Jets
Melbourne Victory ($1.48)
Newcastle Jets ($6.60)
Draw ($5.40)
Melbourne Victory host the Newcastle Jets, with Victory hoping to keep momentum going ahead of their playoff push.
Improved results and performances in recent weeks have seen Victory move to 5th in the table and they have won 3 of their last 5 games played.
Newcastle meanwhile have perked up in recent weeks, but it does feel too little, too late this term.
Neither side will back down here but in front of their home fans, Melbourne Victory should be too strong and should come out on top.
Betting tip: Melbourne Victory to win the match ($1.48)
Melbourne Victory to win 3-1
