1.77Tip and bets
By the end of 2024, the visitors had gained excellent form and won three victories in a row in the championship, beating, among others, the championship leader, Auckland. The hosts managed to beat only the last team in the league, and Perth Glory was helpless against other opponents. We suggest betting on the success of Western United, because in face-to-face matches it was the visitors who won more often.
Our prediction is Western United to win at 1.75
Bet on total
The visitors have played most of their recent matches without conceding a goal, and the favorite will probably be able to defend well against one of the outsiders. We don't think we should expect many goals in this match.
Our prediction is total under 3.5 goals for 1.63
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 2.55
