A-League soccer betting tips & predictions | Round 27 preview

The 2024/25 A-League season continues over the Easter weekend, with six exciting matches across the country. Below are BettingSite.com.au’s top betting tips for every game of Round 27, with odds from the top soccer bookies in Australia.

Brisbane Roar vs Western United

Thursday, April 17 – 7:35pm AEST – Suncorp Stadium

Coming off a disappointing 2-0 loss to the Wanderers last Sunday, Western United have a great chance to jump back into the top two against the last-placed Brisbane Roar. Despite playing on the road, United are comfortable $1.80 favourites with leading A-League bookies and should be a safe bet to find the back of the net more than once.

Adelaide United vs Wellington Phoenix

Friday, April 18 – 7:05pm ACST – Coopers Stadium

Coming off a 4-1 loss to Perth Glory last weekend, Adelaide United have now gone eight matches without a win. Although they should be too good for 11th-placed Wellington, recent form says otherwise, as they have conceded 17 goals in their last four games. While the Phoenix are struggling themselves, they have lost just one of their last four, which suggests this game is ripe for an upset.

Melbourne Victory vs Auckland FC

Saturday, April 19 – 5pm AEST – AAMI Park

With three wins in their last four games, Melbourne Victory are hoping to continue their good form when they take on first-placed Auckland FC. Despite sitting on top, the Black Knights have drawn five of their last six games, while last time these sides met, it finished in a goalless stalemate. Back the draw at good odds with Picklebet.

Western Sydney Wanderers vs Melbourne City

Saturday, April 19 – 7:35pm AEDT – CommBank Stadium

The bookmakers are struggling to split these two in match betting. Both teams are in excellent recent form, but one thing to note is that Melbourne City have won just two of their last eight games away from home. As such, back the Wanderers to build on their nine-match unbeaten run with a win in this one.

Sydney FC vs Newcastle Jets

Sunday, April 20 – 3pm AEST – Allianz Stadium

Sitting right on the edge of the finals spots, this is a must-win clash for Sydney FC. They have lost just one of their last eight A-League games, while Newcastle have won just one of their last four. There isn’t much value in Sydney straight-up, so given they haven’t kept a clean sheet in their last four games, add both teams to score for extra value.

Central Coast Mariners vs Macarthur FC

Sunday, April 20 – 5pm AEST – Industree Group Stadium

Heading to the Central Coast, Macarthur should be far too good for the struggling Mariners. The visitors have scored 13 goals in their last three games, while the home side are coming off a 6-0 defeat last Saturday. At $2.40 with major sports betting sites, back Macarthur FC to get the job done.
