A-League Round 6 Predictions
—
Brisbane Roar vs Western Sydney Wanderers – Suncorp Stadium
Brisbane Roar ($2.63)
Western Sydney Wanderers ($2.60)
Draw ($3.75)
Two sides currently occupying the top 4 places face off, as Brisbane Roar welcome the Western Sydney Wanderers. It has been a hugely impressive start to the season for Brisbane, who sit 4th in the table and with 10 points in the bag from their opening 5 games. Western Sydney Wanderers meanwhile sit top of the pile, with 11 points and there is a growing belief around their squad currently. This should be a very good game and calling a winner could be tough, with a draw seemingly likely.
Betting tip: The match to finish as a draw ($3.75)
1-1 Draw
Western United vs Wellington Phoenix – Mars Stadium
Western United ($2.23)
Wellington Phoenix ($3.10)
Draw ($3.90)
Bottom side Western United will be eager to climb away from trouble, as they take on Wellington Phoenix. United have just one win from their opening 5 games and recent performances will be a little concerning for all associated with the club. By contrast, Wellington Phoenix are flying high at the top of the A-League table, coming into this one fresh off the back of a big win over Melbourne City. The odds don’t look right here, with Wellington Phoenix sure to be confident of pulling off another impressive win.
Betting tip: Wellington Phoenix to win the match ($3.10)
Wellington Phoenix to win 2-1
Sydney FC vs Perth Glory – Allianz Stadium
Sydney FC ($1.65)
Perth Glory ($5)
Draw ($4.40)
Sydney FC will be doing all they can to kickstart their season, as they take on Perth Glory. For the blues, it has been a poor start to the campaign, with just 3 points bagged from their opening 5 games and they look to be a little low on confidence currently. Perth Glory meanwhile are an outfit who are unpredictable but are constantly improving and they tend to go into games such as this without fear. This will be heaps closer than the odds suggest but Sydney FC should record a much needed home win.
Betting tip: Sydney FC to win the match ($1.65)
Sydney FC to win 3-1
Central Coast Mariners vs Melbourne Victory – Central Coast Stadium
Central Coast Mariners ($2.48)
Melbourne Victory ($2.70)
Draw ($3.90)
A heavyweight clash is on the agenda in New South Wales, as Central Coast Mariners take on Melbourne Victory. As defending champions, Central Coast have had a tough start to the season, but a win last time out should give them a boost ahead of this one. Melbourne Victory meanwhile are unbeaten this term, but three draws from their last 3 games played has checked their progress somewhat and they will want to get back to winning ways as quickly as possible. This will be a tight one, with a draw looking most likely.
Betting tip: The match to finish as a draw ($3.90)
1-1 Draw
Macarthur FC vs Adelaide United – Campbelltown Sports Stadium
Macarthur FC ($2.70)
Adelaide United ($2.50)
Draw ($3.90)
Another tight fixture is in prospect here, as Macarthur FC take on Adelaide United. For Macarthur, this a chance to test themselves against one of the bigger sides in the division and they will be hopeful of picking up a result and staying unbeaten. Adelaide United meanwhile sit 3rd and have been banging the goals in this season, looking devastating both home and away and they are rightfully one of the favourites to go all the way this term. This should be a belter but with Adelaide United possessing plenty of fire power, they may prevail here.
Betting tip: Adelaide United to win the match ($2.50)
Adelaide United to win 3-1
Newcastle Jets vs Melbourne City – McDonald Jones Stadium
Newcastle Jets ($3.60)
Melbourne City ($1.95)
Draw ($4.10)
Two sides in need of a win do battle, as the Newcastle Jets face Melbourne City. The Jets sit 7th in the A-League table and in need of some inspiration if they are to crack the top 6 come the end of the campaign. Similarly, Melbourne City have really struggled this term, with just one win from their opening 5 games and they need to start turning the corner quickly. Ordinarily, this would be a game City would expect to win and they should be able to get over the line here, despite their desperately poor start to the season.
Betting tip: Melbourne City to win the match ($1.95)
Melbourne City to win 2-1
