BBL Week 1 Predictions
—
Monday 16/12/24
7:15pm Sydney Sixers vs Melbourne Renegades @ SCG
The Sydney Sixers have a good T20 roster, which is why they’re favourites to beat the Renegades in their opening game on Monday night.
Most of the money has come for the Sixers to get their 2024/25 preparation off to a winning start and playing the Renegades is the perfect scenario.
The Renegades are one of the worst-performing BBL teams, and playing on the road won’t help their chances of winning.
Betting tip: Sydney Sixers @ $1.59

Tuesday 17/12/24
7:15pm Sydney Thunder vs Adelaide Strikers @ Manuka Oval
The neutral value doesn’t help either team, but we also fancy the Sydney Thunder to make a better start to the season.
They have enough strike weapons to put up a big score on the Strikers, who don’t have the same elite bowling attack as they used to.
Bookmakers are struggling to split them, so take the value for the Thunder at $1.86.
Betting tip: Sydney Thunder @ $1.86
—
Wednesday 18/12/24
7:15pm Melbourne Stars vs Brisbane Heat @ MCG
The Melbourne Stars didn’t show much in their first game when losing to the Scorchers on Sunday night, which is why money has come for the Heat.
The Stars scored a modest total before being run down with ease, and given how explosive the Heat can be with the bat, it should be enough to win.
Punters get $1.69 for the Heat to kick their BBL season off with a win.
Betting tip: Brisbane Heat @ $1.69

Thursday 19/12/24
7:15pm Melbourne Renegades vs Hobart Hurricanes @ GMHBA Stadium
Expectations aren’t overly high for the Renegades and Hurricanes, but the Hurricanes often start their year much better than the Renegades.
Finding early winning form is always tough for the Renegades, and we expect the Hurricanes to be well-favoured by bookmakers.
It’s not an easy road game to start, but punters should include the Hurricanes to win.
Betting tip: Hobart Hurricanes
—
Friday 20/12/24
7:15pm Adelaide Strikers vs Melbourne Stars @ Adelaide Oval
The Stars play their third game of the opening week, and it’s hard to imagine they’ll go 0-3. However, that’s a strong chance of happening.
We’re backing against the Strikers in their opening game, but playing in Adelaide is a massive bonus for their chances of beating Melbourne.
Money should come for the Strikers to post a win.
Betting tip: Adelaide Strikers

Saturday 21/12/24
4:00pm Hobart Hurricanes vs Perth Scorchers @ Ninja Stadium
Hobart is never easy to beat at home, but we’re confidently backing the Scorchers to remain unbeaten.
They are one of the best teams in the competition and they showed why when scoring a comfortable win against the Stars on Sunday.
With an expert bowling and batting attack, there aren’t many downsides to betting on the Scorchers, so stick with them.
Betting tip: Perth Scorchers
7:15pm Sydney Thunder vs Sydney Sixers @ ENGIE Stadium
The all-Sydney game is always exciting to watch, and we’re giving the edge to the Sixers.
The odds for the game should be relatively even, depending on how well they play during the week, but most of the betting support typically comes for the Sixers.
They have a good specialist attack and it often pays off in T20 competition.
Betting tip: Sydney Sixers

Sunday 22/12/24
7:15pm Brisbane Heat vs Adelaide Strikers @ The Gabba
Backing Brisbane to win at The Gabba is usually a good betting strategy, so we’re following that advice on Sunday.
It should be a good start to the year for the Heat, and they could capitalise on the Strikers’ tough opening week schedule.
Punters should expect odds around $1.65 for the Heat.
Betting tip: Brisbane Heat
