Melbourne
Victory v Adelaide United
AAMI
Park, Melbourne
Friday,
November 28
6.40
PM (AEST)
Despite neither team recording a loss this season, Adelaide play at
AAMI Park where they have a much better record than Etihad Stadium, the scene
of their worst record in the A-League. In 14 games at Etihad, the Reds have
only won once, whereas at AAMI they've only tasted defeat twice in nine
outings. Adelaide have already equaled their total away wins of last season,
but I think this will be a stern test against their traditional rivals. The
last match up saw both teams share the points in a tight contest at the
Adelaide Oval, but I’m leaning towards the Victory with the home ground
advantage to continue their unbeaten run.
Pick: Melbourne Victory (H2H)
Brisbane
Roar v Perth Glory
Suncorp
Stadium, Brisbane
Saturday,
November 29
4.00
PM (AEST)
After a disastrous week off the pitch, the Brisbane Roar have a new
coach and hope for a return to their proven “philosophy” of winning football
games. In one of the most bizarre football sackings, Mike Mulvey was removed
less than six months after delivering the Premiership double to the most
successful club in A-League’s short history. Caretaker coach Frans Thijssen has
an enormous task to prepare his side for the Glory, who defeated the Roar on
the back of an Andy Keogh hat trick at nib Stadium in Round 2. Despite all the
drama, Roar are clear favorites in TattsBet's ‘Head to Head’ market. I’m still
unconvinced, so will go for the value of the draw in this highly anticipated
clash at Suncorp Stadium.
Pick: Draw
Western
Sydney Wanderers v Sydney FC
Pirtek
Stadium, Parramatta
Saturday,
November 29
6.30
PM (AEST
The second Sydney Derby of the season moves out to Parramatta as the
Wanderers attempt to wake from their Asian Champions League slumber and get
their domestic season back on track. Sydney on the other hand are enjoying one
of their best starts to an A-League campaign. They are the surprising outsiders
for this clash and great value for a team still unbeaten after seven rounds. If
you’re lacking confidence in Sydney getting the win, then the Draw No Bet
market is a good option to keep your multi legs alive and kicking.
Pick: Sydney FC (Draw No Bet)
Wellington
Phoenix v Melbourne City
Westpac
Stadium, Wellington
Sunday,
November 30
2.00
PM (AEST)
The Phoenix are one of the more underrated teams this season and are
sitting well above the position that many pundits predicted. With ten goals
scored and conceded, they need to improve their defence and lay claim to a top
four position at the end of the 27 rounds. This should provide plenty of entertainment,
with both teams looking to avoid back-to-back losses.
Pick: Wellington Phoenix (H2H)
Newcastle United Jets v Central Coast
Mariners
Hunter Stadium, Newcastle
Sunday, November 30
4 PM (AEST)
With heaps of pressure on both coaches, the F3 Derby is shaping as a
massive contest, with the Jets clear favorites. All the talk is whether Phil
Moss still has the support of the Mariners' dressing room, but I think they can
bounce back from the disappointment of the Adelaide defeat at home and get a
much needed win. Newcastle will be full of confidence following last Saturday’s
1-all draw at Wanderland, but I feel they still have to improve sharply to have
any hope of avoiding the dreaded wooden spoon.
Pick: CCM (H2H) or CCM (Draw No Bet) is
also attractive odds
I’ll be on The TattsBet Brekky show

game.
