2024/25 A-League Round 15 Tips & Preview

2024/25 A-League Round 15 Tips & Preview

The A-League keeps on rolling and we’ve got another massive week of domestic men’s Australian football coming your way!

Here is my preview for Round 15 of the 2024/25 A-League Season!

WESTERN UNITED V NEWCASTLE JETS
Western United H2H @ $1.75

We get started on Friday night with the 6th placed Western United hosting the 11th placed Newcastle Jets.

It’s incredibly one sided in the betting markets. The Bookies have United as massive favourites, $1.75 to Newy’s $4.00.

It makes a heap of sense though, United have won four of their last five including an injury time comeback last week against the Victory.

It doesn’t look for the Jets here, they have just three wins on the year and United have won their last six games as favourites.

I’m with them to make that seven here.

WESTERN SYDNEY WANDERERS V CENTRAL COAST
Central Coast Mariners H2H @ $3.90

Our second Friday night game sees two of my favourite acronyms WSW & CCM do battle in a match that I reckon might be closer than the bookies are letting on.

The Wanderers are short favourites at $1.82 but have a very similar record to the Mariners this year.

There’s only two spots on the ladder that separates them and I think we could be in for an arm wrestle here.

Western Sydney has lost three of its last four games as a home favourite following a win.

I’m with the upset.

AUCKLAND FC V MELBOURNE CITY
Both Teams To Score @ $1.80

The two A-League powerhouses do battle in the first game of our Saturday triple header and a win for the currently third placed Auckland FC could see them jump back up to top spot on the ladder.

City are starting to get hot, they’ve won their last three after a shaky start to their 2024/25 campaign and should really test the new kids on the block.

Despite all that, Auckland FC are the $2.10 favourites at home and I’m genuinely struggling to split these sides.

The ‘Both Teams to Score’ market has hit in each of Melbourne City’s last nine games as an away underdog and both these sides average over 1.4 goals a game this season.

Coward’s bet?

Kind of, but $1.80 for a tip here isn’t anything you’re allowed to get upset at.

SYDNEY FC V BRISBANE ROAR
Sydney FC -1 @ $1.95

The Roar are dreadful and I am going to spend as little time on them as they clearly spend on training and match prep.

Sydney FC -1, and that’s my best of the week.

This won’t be close.

ADELAIDE UNITED V MELBOURNE VICTORY
Adelaide United H2H @ $2.15

The Reds also have an opportunity to take that top spot on the table this week with a matchup with the Victory who have been everything but for the last five weeks.

Bad puns aside, the Victory are 0-3-2 in their last five starts and I’m tipping that things go from bad to worse this week against an Adelaide side that’s looking for their third win in a row and that #1 spot on the ladder that I just mentioned.

Adelaide at $2.15 is value.

MACARTHUR FC V WELLINGTON PHOENIX
Wellington H2H @ $3.90

My strategy of just blindly backing Wellington and collecting a large amount of winnings has not quite worked this last month.

My boys from across the ditch are 1-1-3 in their last five starts and will be hard pressed against the fifth placed Macarthur boys that are 3-1-1 in that same time.

I’ve just found a betting trend that gives my strat some hope.

The underdog has won four of Wellington’s last five games at Campbelltown Sports Stadium.

One last week, come on Wellington.
