Brisbane Roar vs Melbourne City
Brisbane Roar continue to blow hot and cold, and consistency remains their biggest challenge. They now meet a Melbourne City side that already looks organised and sharp across midfield, with a clear game plan and good early-season confidence.
City are controlling possession well and applying pressure in the final third. If they convert at their usual rate, they should be too strong here.
Prediction: Melbourne City 2–1
Perth Glory vs Melbourne Victory
Perth Glory have shown moments of intent going forward, even if their defensive structure still needs work. Melbourne Victory, meanwhile, have been competitive without turning chances into results.
Both sides have attacking threats who can cause trouble, but neither has been convincing at the back.
Prediction: 1–1 Draw
(More value than simply backing Victory head-to-head)
Auckland FC vs Adelaide United
Auckland FC have started their campaign confidently and look strong at home. Adelaide United are showing promise in patches but may find it difficult to match Auckland’s tempo and physicality away from home.
If Auckland control the midfield the way they did in their last outing, they can win this by more than one goal.
Prediction: Auckland FC 3–1
Newcastle Jets vs Sydney FC
Both Newcastle and Sydney FC have been creating plenty of chances across the opening rounds. The Jets tend to be more attacking at home, while Sydney are most dangerous when transitioning quickly into space.
This matchup has the feel of an open, fast-paced game with goals at both ends.
Prediction: 2–1 Sydney FC
Central Coast Mariners vs Wellington Phoenix
Wellington Phoenix remain unbeaten and look surprisingly well-balanced early in the season. The Mariners are solid at home, but Phoenix have been impressive defensively and very effective on the counter.
Taking the safer Draw No Bet angle keeps us protected if this one ends level.
Prediction: Wellington Phoenix 2–1
Macarthur FC vs Western Sydney Wanderers
This fixture has the feel of a tight, tactical contest. Macarthur rarely over-commit bodies forward, while the Wanderers are still working through early-season cohesion issues.
Expect a more controlled and cagey match rather than a shootout.
Prediction: 1–1 Draw
