A-League Round 6 Expert Tips & Predictions

With a whole host of shock results last weekend, there is a very open look to the early A-League table.

Down at the bottom of the table, both Perth Glory and Western Sydney Wanderers broke their respective ducks last weekend and there are plenty of sides in the wooden spoon mix already.

This should be another action-packed weekend and here are our A-League tips for the next round of 2025/26 fixtures:

2025/26 A-League Round 6 Predictions

—

Brisbane Roar ($2.63)

Melbourne Victory ($2.72)

Draw ($3.50)

Two of the more inconsistent sides in the division meet here, as Brisbane Roar take on Melbourne Victory. The early season has been tricky for Roar, but they do have eight points from their opening five games played and mounting a playoff charge feels firmly within their reach this term. Melbourne Victory meanwhile are slipping down the table following a promising start of their own and they need to start picking up points quickly. This could be a tight one, with both sides low on confidence and a draw feels the way to go.

1-1 Draw

—

Wellington Phoenix ($3.30)

Adelaide United ($2.10)

Draw ($3.75)

Adelaide United will be eager to kick on from their superb win over Melbourne City last time out, as they take on Wellington Phoenix. For the hosts, losing their last two games will be a huge concern and Phoenix need to start finding a way to win games quickly. Adelaide meanwhile are flying and while their big win over Melbourne City doesn’t tell the whole story, they certainly feel like title contenders. This should be a good one, with Adelaide well placed to pick up all three points.

Adelaide United to win 2-1

—

Central Coast Mariners ($4.75)

Melbourne City ($1.80)

Draw ($3.75)

Two sides keen to bounce back from losses meet here, as Central Coast Mariners take on Melbourne City. For Mariners, building on their promising start to the season will be what they will want to return their focus to, and their home form has been decent. Melbourne City meanwhile remain a very dangerous side but their loss at Adelaide United could have knocked their confidence a touch. This should be an exciting game, with City looking best placed to win it.

Melbourne City to win 3-1

—

Western Sydney Wanderers ($2.90)

Sydney FC ($2.30)

Draw ($3.80)

The Sydney derby is always one to keep an eye on in the calendar and both sides will be up for the challenge this weekend. Wanderers have been struggling down at the foot of the pile, but a win last time out should give them some confidence ahead of this one. Sydney FC meanwhile look to be one of the sides to beat in the title race and they have set the early season pace. Winning at Wanderers would be a statement result for Sydney FC, but they could come out on top here.

Sydney FC to win 2-1

—

Auckland FC ($1.62)

Newcastle Jets ($5.25)

Draw ($4.10)

Kiwi giants Auckland FC will be looking to bounce back from their first loss of the season last time out, as they host the Newcastle Jets. It is certainly not the time for Auckland to panic but they will be all too aware of the need to keep picking up points. Newcastle Jets meanwhile are a side capable of beating anybody on their day, but they know the enormity of this task. The odds feel a little tight, but Auckland FC should prevail here.

Auckland FC to win 2-0

—

Macarthur FC ($1.91)

Perth Glory ($3.75)

Draw ($4.10)

Following their first win of the season, Perth Glory will be up for doubling their money here against Macarthur FC. The hosts are a side with plenty of firepower, but they do lack consistency and recent results have been nothing to write home about. Glory meanwhile will be feeling like this is another winnable game and they won’t fear this assignment. Both sides will fancy their chances and that could bring the draw into play here.

1-1 Draw
