There’s just three games left of the A-League season and four sides (maybe three if you don’t give United much hope), are a solid 90 minutes away from booking their spot in the 2024\/25 A-League Grand Final.<\/p>\n

There was plenty of spice in the first legs, are we set for some more drama this weekend?<\/p>\n

Here is my preview for the Semi Finals of the 2024\/25 A-League Season!<\/span><\/p>\n

AUCKLAND FC V MELBOURNE VICTORY<\/div>\n
Auckland H2H @ $2.10<\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div> \n <\/div> \n
\n

Auckland are up and about, they return home this Saturday night with a one goal lead and are agonisingly close to a spot in the GF in their inaugural year.<\/p>\n

Auckland are favoured this weekend, and at $2.10 to the Victory’s $3.25 and I’m backing them in.<\/p>\n

To snatch a first leg win on the road is huge and that home crowd advantage over in NZ is going to do them nothing but favours.<\/p>\n

Not to mention the Victory have not only never beaten Auckland in their three matchups, but they still also have never scored a goal against them.<\/p>\n

Victory lap here for Auckland in front of the home crowd, looking forward to seeing them in the big dance.<\/p>\n

MELBOURNE CITY V WESTERN UNITED<\/div>\n
City H2H @ $1.80<\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div> \n <\/div> \n
\n

Barring some sort of Liverpool v Barcelona esque second leg comeback, Melbourne City are all but in the A-League Grand Final after a massive 3-0 of the Westies last week.<\/p>\n

City were far too good last weekend and I’m willing to bet we could see more of them same in the “return” fixture (they’re playing at the same ground).<\/p>\n

City just find a way to always be up there at the end of the year, I’m tipping an Auckland v City GF<\/p>\n
