Western United v Melbourne City
A local Derby kicks us off on Saturday night when Western United go up against City. City will be looking to go back to the top of the league with a win. City have bolstered their defense with former Arsenal player Carl Jenkinson signing on loan and has impressed with a goal in his first game for the club. Western United on the other hand will be looking to bounce back after a shock loss to the Phoenix. They will go in as underdogs, but with City missing some players due to international duty, Western United may come out as victors.
Prediction: 2-2 Draw
Best Bet: Nabbout anytime goal at $2.30
Brisbane Roar v Western Sydney Wanderers
Another interesting clash awaits us on Saturday night when the Roar take on the Wanderers. The Roar who are sitting at the bottom of the ladder will be desperately seeking a win this weekend. The Wanderers on the other hand will be out to play after three weeks on the sidelines due to covid imposed postponements. The Wanderers do look the better team on paper but with the lack of match fitness, it will be a tough battle.
Prediction: Wanderers 2-1
Best Bet: Wanderers to win at $2.68
Sydney FC v Central Coast Mariners
Sydney goes up against the Mariners on Sunday, with both teams needing a win to keep in touch of the top teams. Sydney is without some of their stars due to international duty, and this opens up the door for the Mariners to claim a big victory. The mariners will want to come back with a win after last week’s disappointing defeat to Melbourne City.
Prediction: Central Coast 2-0
Best Bet: Central Coast win at $3.85
Newcastle Jets v Adelaide United
The Jets return to the A-League scene for the first time since Christmas, and will be a tough challenge up against the Reds. The Reds will want to keep their winning run to continue, but will be without star player Craig Goodwin who is on international duty. But against a Jets side who are lacking match fitness, it gives Adelaide a very good opportunity to extend their winning form. It will be interesting to see how this game pans out and especially with the Jets to see how they react after a long break.
Prediction: Adelaide 3-0
Best Bet: Adelaide United win at $2.90
