Command Analysis
Western United FC
AustraliaCurrent form
Western United closes the top three of the Australian championship, but they are already five points behind the second Adelaide United, so it is unlikely that they will reach the semi-finals of the playoffs immediately. Even retaining a place in the top six will not be so easy, as the gap from the seventh Melbourne City is only two points. In January, the team lost only one match - Melbourne City turned out to be stronger (0:2). After that, the hosts defeated Melbourne Victory (4:3) and Newcastle Jets (3:1). In recent rounds, the club has drawn with Central Coast Mariners (2:2) and MacArthur (2:2).
Disqualifications and injuries
Khoder Kaddour and Sebastian Pasquali will miss the match due to injury. Angus Thurgate will not play due to too many yellow cards. The appearance of James Donaghy on the field is questionable.
Interesting betting trends
- The team has lost only one of the last 10 matches.
- The club has not lost in the last four home matches.
Approximate composition: Sutton - Chamoun, Leonard, Imai, Russell - Grimaldi, Bozinowski, Lawton, Danzaki- Laval, Ibusuki
Auckland FC
New ZealandCurrent form
Auckland is playing its first season in the A-League, but already claims to be the best team in the Australian championship. From the very first rounds, the New Zealand club became the leaders of the standings, winning several dry victories in a row. Then there was a slight decline in the guests' game, but this team has never left the top three so far. Gradually, the team managed to get back in shape and returned to first place in the A-League. The New Zealanders are now two points ahead of Adelaide United. In recent matches, Steve Chorica's team managed to beat Western Sydney Wanderers (1-0) and MacArthur (2-1). In the upcoming game, the guests will try to extend their winning streak.
Disqualifications and injuries
Daniel Hull will miss the match due to injury. Louis Verstreth will not play due to too many yellow cards.
Interesting betting trends
- The team has never lost in the last four rounds.
- The New Zealand club has won three of its last four matches.
Approximate line-up: Poulsen - Sakai, Elliott, Pignaker, De Vries - Brimmer, Gallegos - Rogerson, Mata, Gillion - May
