2.25Tip and bets
The teams are approximately equal in strength, it is not for nothing that they have the same number of points before the face-to-face match. Nevertheless, bookmakers consider the hosts to be the clear favorites of this match. We believe that the visitors have no less chances of winning, Perth Glory can at least fight for a draw. We suggest betting on the underdog with a favorable coefficient.
Our prediction is Asian handicap (+1) on Perth Glory for 1.95
Bet on total
The opponents are the main outsiders of the championship and plan to get out of the bottom of the tournament table. The teams are already four points behind their closest competitors, so they need to win to reduce the gap. The opponents are not the best in defense, so the bet will probably be made on the attack. We suggest betting on the total over.
Our prediction is total over 3.5 goals for 2.15
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 2.75
