2024/25 A-League Round 22 Tips & Preview

2024/25 A-League Round 22 Tips & Preview

Cyclone Alfred will not influence this round of the A-League with no games scheduled in Queensland.

So the competition 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 22 of the 2024/25 A-League Season!

MELBOURNE CITY V MACARTHUR
Melbourne H2H @ $1.65

We get the round kicked off with fifth paced Melbourne City hosting the eighth placed Macarthur.

It’s been a rough patch of form for Macarthur recently, with just the one win in their last five and no wins in their last four.

They’re $4.60 to win this one and that seems to be a well deserved price.

Macarthur FC has won five of its last seven night matches as an away underdog but I think that stat might not really reflect this contenst.

City for me.

ADELAIDE UNITED V BRISBANE ROAR
Adelaide H2H @ $1.67

It’s Adelaide’s turn to beat up on the Roar on Saturday night and I expect them to do just that.

There’s not a lot to say about the Roar here, still with just the one win in 21 rounds.

Don’t overthink this one. Reds to win.

WESTERN UNITED V WELLINGTON PHOENIX
WESTERN UNITED H2H @ $1.50

I promised if Wellington couldn’t get it done last week, I’d stop backing them blindly and that happened last week unfortunately.

After being up the top of the table early in the year, the Nix have only gone backwards.

No wins in their last five and now sitting in third last on the table.

They are $5.60 to win this against United and I’m going to shy away from them hoping that they prove me wrong and play themselves back into form.

MELBOURNE VICTORY V CENTRAL COAST MARINERS
Melbourne Victory H2H @ $1.52

It’s another one sided affair betting market on Saturday night as the Vics are $1.52 to CCM’s $5.40.

It’s hard to make a case for the Mariners here, they’re another side that’s winless in their last five games.

Melbourne Victory have won each of its last eight night matches against Central Coast at AAMI Park, I’m with the betting trends in this fixture.

NEWCASTLE JETS V AUCKLAND FC
AUCKLAND H2H @ $1.80

Not quite as one sided as the other games this weekend but Auckland are still short priced favourites and it’s very well deserved.

Four wins and a draw in their last five, Auckland are well deserved of their $1.80 H2H price.

Credit to the Jets, they are also undefeated in their last five games with three wins and two draws but I believe that Auckland will be too good for them here.
