1.75Tip and bets
The hosts deservedly finished last in the last A-League, and their decline continues this season. In four rounds, the team has already suffered two crushing defeats, and managed to score only one goal. The visitors are also not doing well, but still, at the A-League level, Western United is more competitive. The club fights in every match, and managed to beat Perth Glory in the last four head-to-head matches. We believe that United will gain the upper hand this time too.
Our prediction is Asian handicap (0) on Western United at 1.55
Bet on total
The hosts are playing very poorly in defense and have already conceded 13 goals in four matches. At the same time, the team remains the least effective in attack, which they will try to correct in the home match with another outsider, Western United. Most likely, both teams will be active in attack, which should lead to a productive match.
Our prediction is total over three goals for 1.88
Bet on the first half
We don't expect the opponents to go forward in force immediately after the starting whistle. It will obviously take time to get to know each other. In this scenario, a draw at the end of the first half is likely.
Our prediction is a draw in the first half at 2.60
