Brisbane Roar v Wellington Phoenix
The Roar are coming off a loss to the Mariners which keeps them on the bottom of the ladder, and this week, it will not be easier with the Phoenix up next. The Phoenix had a good 3-2 win mid-week against the Jets, and they will want to keep the confidence up, especially with David Ball having a good game and back to his scoring ways.
Prediction: Wellington 2-0
Best Bet: Wellington win at $3.25
Macarthur Bulls v Western Sydney Wanderers
Macarthur have had a lean week coming of two 3-1 losses against both the Victory and Melbourne City. They will want to get their winning streak back up and running this weekend against the Wanderers, who themselves have found some excellent form with a 2-0 win in the derby against Sydney FC. The Wanderers will want Hemed to fire against the Bulls and if he does, the Wanderers will go out victors.
Prediction: 1-1 draw
Best Bet: Draw at $3.45
Western United v Melbourne City
The game of the round, if not the season, when these two Melbourne teams take to the pitch. A top of the table clash, all directions point to a classic game. Western United boasts the best defence in the league, where as the City boys boast the best attack in the league. It will be Jamie Maclaren who will be out to take out the Western United defence with the leagues’ top goal scorer hungry for more goals. It will be a tough battle for both sides, but any result is possible.
Prediction: Melbourne City 2-1
Best Bet: Jamie Maclaren first goal at $3.25
Perth Glory v Sydney FC
Perth’s first home game back in weeks last week did not go to plan, with the Glory boys losing 2-1 to the Reds. They have another tough assignment this week up against Sydney, who themselves had a tough loss against the Wanderers last week. That was Sydney’s third loss in a row in the league and will hope that LeFondre and Bobo will not make it four losses in a row.
Prediction: Perth Glory 2-0
Best Bet: Bruno Fornaroli anytime goal at $2.60
Adelaide United v Newcastle Jets
Adelaide will go up against the Jets this week and will go in with their heads held high with a win last week against the Glory. The Jets on the other hand, who have lost their last two games will want to get a result and keep in touch with the top six, and stay in finals contention. It will be a tough game for the Jets with Adelaide firing, and with Craig Goodwin also in great form, they will be hard to beat at home this week.
Prediction: Adelaide 2-0
Best Bet: Craig Goodwin anytime goal at $2.26
