We have the latest A-League tips this week for all six games of Round 3, kicking off with Brisbane Roar vs Auckland FC on Friday night.
Punters can get the latest A-League odds at Ladbrokes, which are available for every game of the season.
We’re not sure what went wrong with Auckland FC last week when losing 5-2 to the Wanderers, but a bounce-back effort could be on the card, and that’s reflected by A-League Round 3 odds.
The defending champions are $2.40 favourites to win on the road, so the betting markets expect a better effort, but it won’t be easy to beat Brisbane, who looked good when winning 2-1 over Perth last week.
Our A-League tips this week have the current champions playing much better, and the $2.40 odds could firm throughout the week.
Our A-League predictions this week include Wellington Phoenix to remain unbeaten with a tough road win over Newcastle.
It’s not going to be easy for the Phoenix, who lead the A-League ladder after two wins at home, but they’re good enough to pass their first road test against a Jets team coming off a 1-1 draw with Macarthur.
Wellington might have too much scoring power, and although they’re not favoured to win at $3.30, those odds are too good to turn down. It’s a value line for a team playing with more confidence than most.
Most of the early money has come for Melbourne City to hold down the fort at home against Sydney, and we’re following the money.
They scored a 1-1 draw against Melbourne Victory last week, which was a solid effort, despite not picking up maximum points. They played well in defence, and Sydney could struggle to break through.
Melbourne City has won eight of their last nine home matches against Sydney, so history is on their side, and the $2 odds could be snapped up. We predict their odds firming to around $1.80 on game day.
Punters get good value with the Western Sydney Wanderers this week, so we’re including them in our A-League tips this week.
They scored an emphatic 5-2 win over Auckland FC last week, and it doesn’t get much more impressive than that. They controlled the game beautifully, and they capped off their scoring chances in fine style.
Beating Macarthur on the road is a tough ask, but they’re playing with confidence, and they could score an upset on the road. The Wanderers are often well-backed throughout the week, so we recommend taking the early odds.
Our A-League Round 3 tips include Melbourne Victory to take care of business at home, and although the odds are short, they’re worth including in multis.
They come off a 1-1 draw against Melbourne City, and although disappointed not to take the full points, they should feel more comfortable playing a Central Coast Mariners team coming off a 2-0 loss to Wellington.
It could be a long season for the Mariners. It’s only early days, but winning on the road against the Victory could be a hurdle too hard to overcome.
Beating Perth at home isn’t easy, with the Glory having won four of their last five matches at home.
We’re surprised to see Adelaide United at $2.30, with both teams coming off close losses last week, and we have Perth playing better in Round 3.
Their odds have drifted after opening at $2.63, but we’re not too concerned by the lack of betting confidence. They’re a good bet at home, and Adelaide isn’t one of the top teams, so they could struggle on the road.
