2024/25 A-League Round 27 Tips & Preview

2024/25 A-League Round 27 Tips & Preview

With only a handful of regular season games left we are edging closer and closer to post season A-League.

There’s big finals implications for majority of these fixtures, keep your eyes on the ladder this weekend!

Here is my preview for Round 27 of the 2024/25 A-League Season!

BRISBANE ROAR V WESTERN UNITED
Western United H2H @ $1.95

The Roar have four games of misery left this season and that continues on Thursday night against United who are comfortable favourites at Suncorp Stadium.

I refuse to spend too much brain power on this one, similar to how the Roar have treated this entire season.

United to win.

ADELAIDE UNITED V WELLINGTON PHOENIX
Wellington H2H @ $4.50

Adelaide have lost four on the trot recently and look like a likely bounceback candidate this weekend, but the Wellington Phoenix can win at any price range.

Adelaide are in horrendous form and that’s enough for me to back the ‘Nix once again here.

Great value for Wellington.

MELBOURNE VICTORY V AUCKLAND FC
Auckland H2H $3.00

For Auckland’s standards it’s been a rough patch of form in their last five with one win and four draws but to me this just looks like value for the Kiwis.

You’re getting $3.00 for the boys on top of the table and I’m struggling to make a case for anything else here.

Sticking with my initial thoughts here.

 

WESTERN SYDNEY WANDERERS V MELBOURNE CITY
City H2H @ $2.60

It’s even money on Saturday night when WSW host Melbourne City.

City currently sit second on the ladder with three games to go and have just the one loss and four wins in their last five games.

The Wanderers are undefeated in that same time with three wins and two draws.

Genuine coin flip here for me but it’s one that I lean towards City in.

SYDNEY FC V NEWCASTLE JETS
Sydney H2H @ $1.55

Newy are a whopping $5 to win this Easter Sunday fixture and between you and me, I don’t think they’re much of a chance.

With only a handful of games left, Sydney will be up for this to keep hold of a top six spot and I reckon they do just that.

Sky Blues to take all three points.

CENTRAL COAST MARINERS V MACARTHUR FC
Macarthur H2H @ $2.35

We wrap things up on Sunday with CCM hosting the eighth placed Macarthur.

The Mariners have been eliminated from postseason contention but Macarthur are not out of the fight and still have plenty to play for.

The Bulls are $2.35 for a side that wants to keep their finals hopes alive and I do think they can get up for this one.
